Intuitively, you can think of a bijection as a \say{matching} between elements of $A$ and $B$. If we were to draw a bijection, we'd see an arrow connecting every element in $A$ to every element in $B$. If a bijection exists, every element of $A$ directly corresponds to an element of $B$, therefore $A$ and $B$ must have the same number of elements.
\definition{}
We say two sets $A$ and $B$ are \textit{equinumerous} if there exists a bijection $f: A \to B$.

\section{Enumerations}
\definition{}
Let $A$ be a set. An \textit{enumeration} is a bijection from $A$ to $\{1, 2, ..., n\}$ or $\mathbb{N}$.\par
An enumeration assignes an element of $\mathbb{N}$ to each element of $A$.
\definition{}
We say a set is \textit{countable} if it has an enumeration.\par
We consider the empty set trivially countable.
