Sets are classified according to their cardinality: a measure of the number of elements that it contains. The cardinality of a set may be finite, aleph-null or aleph-one. Aleph-null is the number of integers (or rational numbers). Aleph-one
The symbol for the number of rational numbers is Aleph-Null (Aleph being the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet - in fact that is where the word "alphabet" comes from!) The symbol for the number of real numbers is C (standing for continuum).
