It's enough to show that the set A of all algebraic numbers is countable (if one allows the coefficients of a polynomial
to be rational, we can always clear denominators to obtain one with integer coefficients, by multiplying by
the common denominator).
Let P be the collection of all polynomials with integer coefficients;
and for each natural n, let P_n ...
