The empty set is not denumerable because it is finite. The deployment of big data practices in schools is intended to accelerate the temporalities of governing by numbers, making the collection of enumerable educational data, its processes of calculation, and its consequences into an automated, realtime and recursive process materialized and operationalized up close from within the classroom and regulated at a distance by new centers of.

So the relationship between enumerable and countable is that if a set is enumerable it must be countable, but not vice versa. Any recursive set is also recursively enumerable the union and intersection of two recursively enumerable sets are also recursively enumerable. In some cases, this method is useful for passing an empty sequence to.
Therefore, the listing theorem characterization of c. The concepts of sqreducibility and sq 1reducibility are considered, and it is shown that these concepts coincide on the class of recursively enumerable sets. We are concerned with nonnegative integers numbers, collections of numbers sets and collections of sets classes. Enumeration of finite sets obviously requires that either noninjectivity or partiality is accepted, and in contexts where finite sets may appear one or both of these are inevitably present.
