Episode description

Mainly about the idea of one-to-one correspondence, after some review of the infinity of primes, and then of some controversies in set theory, especially over whether intensional or extensional ways of referring to sets are more basic.  Counting as coming after one-to-one correspondence.  One-to-one correspondence and infinite sets.
