Abstract

HMC sets are hereditarily at most countable sets. We rework a substantial part of univariate real analysis in a form in which only HMC real functions are used. In such countable real analysis we carry out Hilbert's proof of transcendence of the number e\mathrm{e}. We also construct a uniformly continuous function f:[0,1]QRf:[0,1]\cap\mathbb{Q}\to\mathbb{R} such that f=1f'=1 on [0,1]Q[0,1]\cap\mathbb{Q} and lima1/2aQf(a)=12>f(b)\lim_{\substack{a\to1/\sqrt{2}\\a\in\mathbb{Q}}}f(a)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}>f(b) for every b[0,1]Qb\in[0,1]\cap\mathbb{Q}.
