Common Mistakes

⚠️

Mistake: Confusing ℵ (aleph) with a stylized Hebrew letter

Fix: The aleph symbol ℵ is specifically used in set theory for transfinite cardinal numbers. It is not a decorative character.

⚠️

Mistake: Using infinity ∞ instead of aleph ℵ for cardinalities

Fix: Use ℵ for cardinalities of infinite sets (ℵ₀, ℵ₁). Use ∞ for limits and unbounded quantities. They represent different mathematical concepts.
