|
| scienceworld.wolfram.com
| 2005-5-4: This very brief biography of Frege contains the famous quote (from the same book by E.T. Bell where I found it): A scientist can hardly encounter anything more undesirable than to have the foundation collapse just as the work is finished. I was put in this position by a letter from Mr. Bertrand Russell when the work was almost through the press. See also Google. See also St. Andrews biography of Frege
|
| Justin T Miller
| 2005-5-4: Includes discussion of Frege's reaction to Russell's paradox, and this comment:
Although the foundation of his theory had been destroyed, Russell described Frege's reaction as superhuman, writing to van Heijenoort that Frege responded with intellectual pleasure clearly submerging any feelings of personal disappointment .

|
| planetmath.org
| 2005-1-28: Includes an article on countable axiom of choice stating as follows: The Axiom of Countable Choice (CC) is a weak form of the Axiom of Choice. It states that every countable set of nonempty sets has a choice function.
ZF+CC (that is, the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms together with the Axiom of Countable Choice) suffices to prove that the union of countably many countable sets is countable. It also suffices to prove that every infinite set has a countably infinite subset.
