Pele eventually landed on the Big Island, where she made Mauna Loa her new home. Literally meaning âLong Mountainâ in the Hawaiian language, Mauna Loa was so tall that even Peleâs sister could not send the oceanâs waves high enough on Mauna Loa to drown Peleâs fires.So Pele established her home on its slopes.auna Loaâs elevation and location made it an important spot for atmospheric and other scientific observations. The Mauna Loa Solar Observatory has long been prominent in observations of the Sun. The NOAA Mauna Loa Observatory, located close by, monitors the global atmosphere.
Set (mathematics) In mathematics, a set is a well-defined collection of distinct objects, considered as an object in its own right. For example, the numbers 2, 4, and 6 are distinct objects when considered separately, but when they are considered collectively they form a single set of size three, written {2,4,6}.
An example is the set of real number s and its proper subset, the set of integers. In the 1800s, Georg Cantor defined infinity in terms of the cardinalities of infinite sets. The cardinality of a set is the number of elements in the set. In this sense, the cardinality of the set of integers is smaller than the cardinality of the set of real numbers, even though both sets are infinite. The set of integers is denumerable (its elements can all be accounted for by means of a listing scheme), while the set of real numbers is not denumerable.
