What is a set?

A set is a well-defined collection of distinct objects, considered as a single entity. These objects can be anything, such as numbers, letters, or even other sets. Sets are typically denoted by curly braces { } and elements are listed separated by commas. The concept of sets is fundamental in mathematics and plays a key role in various branches such as algebra, calculus, and probability theory.

What is an element of a set?

An element of a set refers to a single member or object that is contained within the defined collection or grouping of items. It is an entity that belongs to the set and represents its individual components or values that are part of the overall group.

What is the cardinality of a set?

The cardinality of a set is the measure of the "number of elements" or the "size" of the set. It can be thought of as a count of the elements in a set, whether it is finite or infinite. The cardinality of a finite set is simply the number of elements it contains, while the cardinality of an infinite set can be indicated using various notations like aleph null (??) for countably infinite sets.

What is a subset?

A subset is a set that contains only some (or possibly all) of the elements of another set. In other words, every element of a subset is also an element of the original set it is derived from.

What is the intersection of two sets?

The intersection of two sets is the set of elements that are common to both sets, meaning it includes only the elements that are present in both sets simultaneously.

What is the union of two sets?

The union of two sets is a new set that contains all unique elements from both sets, without any duplicates. It is represented by the symbol "?" and includes all elements that are present in at least one of the original sets.

What is the complement of a set?

The complement of a set is the set of all elements in the universal set that are not in the given set. In other words, it consists of all the elements that are outside of the original set.

What is the power set of a set?

The power set of a set is the set of all possible subsets of that original set, including the empty set and the set itself. It contains all the combinations of elements that can be formed by taking or not taking each element of the original set.

How can you represent sets using set-builder notation?

Set-builder notation is a way to represent sets by describing the characteristics or properties of the elements that are included in the set. It typically takes the form {x | P(x)}, where x represents the elements in the set, and P(x) is the property that these elements must satisfy in order to be included in the set. For example, the set of even numbers can be represented as {x | x is an integer and x is divisible by 2}.

How can you represent sets using roster notation?

Sets can be represented using roster notation by listing all the elements of the set within curly braces { }. For example, if we have a set of even numbers less than 10, it would be represented as {2, 4, 6, 8}. This notation explicitly states the elements of the set in a clear and concise manner.
