Uncountable sets and an infinite real number game

History and Overview 2007-05-23 v1 General Topology

Abstract

We give a short proof of the well-known fact that the unit interval [0,1] is uncountable by means of a simple infinite game. We also show using this game that a (non-empty) perfect subset of [0,1] must be uncountable.
