text \<open>
  Every infinite set contains a countable subset. More precisely we
  show that a set \<open>S\<close> is infinite if and only if there exists an
  injective function from the naturals into \<open>S\<close>.

  The ``only if'' direction is harder because it requires the
  construction of a sequence of pairwise different elements of an
  infinite set \<open>S\<close>. The idea is to construct a sequence of
  non-empty and infinite subsets of \<open>S\<close> obtained by successively
  removing elements of \<open>S\<close>.
