Cantor
Diagonalization proof creator
Cantor is a German and Jewish surname, most famously borne by mathematician Georg Cantor, who developed set theory and explored the mathematics of infinity in the late nineteenth century.
His work on infinite sets revolutionized mathematics: Cantor's diagonal argument proves that some infinities are larger than others. (Lowercase cantor is a religious singer who leads worship.)
