Definition df-fin 7959
Description: Define the (proper) class of all finite sets. Similar to Definition 10.29 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 91, whose "Fin(a)" corresponds to our " a  e.  Fin". This definition is meaningful whether or not we accept the Axiom of Infinity ax-inf2 8538. If we accept Infinity, we can also express  A  e.  Fin by  A 
~<  om (theorem isfinite 8549.) (Contributed by NM, 22-Aug-2008.)
