Definition df-en 8885

Description: Define the equinumerosity relation. Definition of [Enderton] p. 129. We define ≈ to be a binary relation rather than a connective, so its arguments must be sets to be meaningful. This is acceptable because we do not consider equinumerosity for proper classes. We derive the usual definition as bren 8894. (Contributed by NM, 28-Mar-1998.)
