10.5 part 2, due 21 March 2013

      In the proof of Theorem 10.19, it felt as if not every subset was represented in the function f.  Consider for instance {42}.  I do not see how the f(x) ever would result {42}.  I'm not sure what I am missing.  I was also a little confused in the proof for the Schröder-Bernstein Theorem.  I must not be keeping my notation straight.
      I find it interesting that the cardinality of the real numbers is numerically equivalent to the cardinality of the power set of the natural numbers.  I thought that Corollary 10.20 was a nice thought too.
