Georg Cantor: Information from Answers.com (3899 words)
In 1911, Cantor was one of the distinguished foreign scholars invited to attend the 500th anniversary of the founding of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
Cantor also discussed his thinking about dimension, stressing that his mapping between the unit interval and the unit square was not a continuous one.
Cantor was the first to formulate what later came to be known as the continuum hypothesis or CH: there exists no set whose power is greater than that of the naturals and less than that of the reals (or equivalently, the cardinality of the reals is exactly aleph-one, rather than just at least aleph-one).
Eddie Cantor - Biography - AOL Music (673 words)
Cantor's next step up was a big one; Florenz Ziegfeld, one of the most important stage producers in America, convinced him to come back to New York to take a part in his Midnight Frolic (the energetic Cantor even followed his nightly performance with a vaudeville show elsewhere).
Cantor also appeared in the Follies of 1918 and 1919, and though Ziegfeld abrubtly fired him in 1920 for his part in a strike by the Actor's Equity Association that forced closure of Broadway theaters, Cantor proved that he didn't need the producer to stay successful.
Cantor was made a millionaire from his performances (though mostly from Whoopee!), but he was nearly ruined in the stock market crash of 1929.
