What is the meaning of $n\in \aleph$
Using mathematical induction, prove that, for each $n\in \aleph$
$$n<3^n$$
Dear all, what is the meaning of "$n\in \aleph$" . How to substitute it and prove that? please give me one step or some basic information about that. what to do?
Presumably it means $n \in \mathbb{N}$.
$\aleph_0$ is the first infinite cardinal, it's the cardinality of the natural numbers. In the most common formalism of set theory, it's identified with $\omega$, the first infinite ordinal number, which in turn is identified with $\mathbb{N}$. So when you see $n \in \aleph_0$ what it means is $n \in \mathbb{N}$. I'm guessing that here $\aleph$ is written instead of $\aleph_0$. This is in line with the meaning of 'mathematical induction' (as opposed to other induction principles).
It seems to be an odd use of the notation, though.
In fact $\kappa < 3^{\kappa}$ is true for all cardinals $\kappa$, so it doesn't really matter what the author means by $\aleph$ if you want to prove this more general result.
