From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  countable
       
           A term describing a {set} which is {isomorphic}
          to a subet of the {natural numbers}.  A countable set has
          "countably many" elements.  If the isomorphism is stated
          explicitly then the set is called "a counted set" or "an
          {enumeration}".
       
          Examples of countable sets are any {finite} set, the {natural
          numbers}, {integers}, and {rational numbers}.  The {real
          numbers} and {complex numbers} are not [proof?].
