[[[> IMG:Dedekind_5.jpeg ]]] Julius Wilhelm Richard Dedekind (1831 - 1916) redefined the notion of irrational numbers in terms of Dedekind cuts, and thus gave a construction of the real numbers. He was a good friend of Cantor, and encouraged him to publish, even though the results seemed counter-intuitive. He also introduced the notion of an ideal which is fundamental to ring theory. ---- One of the Famous People on this site.
