Abstract

This paper discusses various tricks used to reduce an infinitary formulation of a problem to a finitary one, and vice versa. The presented examples are famous problems from arithmetic combinatorics and
the Euclidean geometry, while the presented techniques come from mathematical analysis and mathematical logic.
