Created page with "In set theory, the '''ordinal numbers''' or '''ordinals''' are an extension of the natural numbers that describe the order types of well-ordered sets. A set \( S \) is '''well-ordered''' if each non-empty \( T \subseteq S \) has a least element. ==Von Neumann definition== The Von Neumann definition of ordinals defines ordinals as objects in ZFC. Each ordinal \( \alpha \) is defined as the set of all ordinals less than \( \alpha \)."
