- Hi, this came up in discussion among a few of my (math) friends.
- We were working on the last part of Green Rudin Chapter I,
- Problem 6. This is probably a minor issue in the scheme of
- things and I don't think the grader will disagree if I simply
- state it as a fact, but even so I would truly love to see a
- proof of:
- ---
- Every uncountable set can be partitioned into two uncountable
- sets.
- ---
- I mean, it's obvious but we proposed a lot of ways to prove it
- and none of them worked. Maybe we're all just burned out.
-
- This is useful in trying to describe the set of measurable functions
- of a certain measurable space which is the subject of the aforementioned
- problem in Rudin. I would appreciate any thoughts you might have.
- Thanks!
-
- We're allowed to work on problems together and consult basically
- anything we want(I think it's pretty much implied that if we do
- we should say so).
-
- Thanks!
