Let the mapping s:N→N be defined as: ∀n∈N:s(n)=n+1 s is clearly an injection. But: ∀n∈N:s(n)≥0+1>0 So 0∉s(N), and s is not a surjection. Therefore N is not finite and so by Same Cardinality Bijective Injective Surjective is therefore infinite. http://www.proofwiki.org/wiki/Natural_Numbers_are_Infinite
