Examples
-
Having declared "I will prove this", he began the lecture by explaining Dedekind's cut.
-
Dedekind's legacy, on the other hand, consisted not only of important theorems, examples, and concepts, but of a whole style of mathematics that has been an inspiration to each successive generation.
Mathematical Style Mancosu, Paolo 2009
-
This follows the kind of definitions used in the arithmetization of analysis of the preceding century, in particular, Dedekind's earlier construction of real numbers as bounded classes of rational numbers.

-
Another example comes from Edward's evaluation of Dedekind's approach to mathematics:
Mathematical Style Mancosu, Paolo 2009
-
Had he had a tenth of Dedekind's ability to formulate and express his ideas clearly, his contribution to mathematics might have been even greater than Dedekind's.
Mathematical Style Mancosu, Paolo 2009
-
From here the step is not far to Dedekind's view that equipollence is a sufficient condition for equinumerosity.
Slices of Matisse gerard varni 2009
-
These three parts, or Dedekind's approach as a whole, may not seem extraordinary to a contemporary mathematician; but that is just testimony to how much modern mathematics has been shaped by it.

-
As indicated above, set-theoretic assumptions and procedures already inform Dedekind's Stetigkeit und irrationale Zahlen.
Dedekind's Contributions to the Foundations of Mathematics Reck, Erich 2008
-
We should begin here by reviewing two related aspects: the roots of Dedekind's number-theoretic investigations in the works of Gauss, Dirichlet, and Ernst Eduard Kummer; and the contrast between Dedekind's approach in this area and that of Leopold Kronecker.

-
The extent to which Dedekind's approach diverged from what was common up to then becomes clearer if we remember two traditional assumptions: that mathematics is the science of number and magnitude; and that it has essentially to do with calculating and algorithmic reasoning.
