Borges embedded mathematical concepts throughout his writing, especially infinity—not as formal mathematics but as philosophical perplexity about what minds cannot fully comprehend. In works like 'The Aleph' and 'The Book of Sand,' Borges illustrates Cantor's set theory paradoxes: infinite sets can equal their parts, and between any two fractions exist infinitely many others.
