Definition df-fin 8502
Description: Define the (proper) class of all finite sets. Similar to Definition 10.29 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 91, whose "Fin(a)" corresponds to our "𝑎 ∈ Fin". This definition is meaningful whether or not we accept the Axiom of Infinity ax-inf2 9093. If we accept Infinity, we can also express 𝐴 ∈ Fin by 𝐴 ≺ ω (theorem isfinite 9104.) (Contributed by NM, 22-Aug-2008.)
