In mathematics, Aleph usually refers to a series of numbers used to represent the cardinality of infinite sets. For example,

<math>\aleph_0</math> is the number of numbers in the set of rational numbers or integers.

<math>\aleph_1</math> is the next largest cardinal number after <math>\aleph_0</math>

<math>\aleph_2</math> is the next largest cardinal number after <math>\aleph_1</math>

and so on...
