Rational Numbers are Countable

We prove that the rational numbers are countable in two ways. The first approach is classical: define the height of a rational number and use a result on countable unions of countable sets. The second is a cool proof of Campbell using base 11. #mikedabkowski, #mikethemathematician, #profdabkowski, #realanalysis
