Key Points
Definition of a Set
A set is a well-defined collection of distinct objects or elements.
Types of Sets
Sets can be finite (countable elements) or infinite (uncountable elements).
Empty Set
The empty set, denoted by φ or {}, contains no elements and is a subset of every set.
Subset Notation
A set A is a subset of B if all elements of A are in B. Notation: A ⊆ B.
Proper Subset
A is a proper subset of B if A ⊆ B and A ≠ B, denoted as A ⊂ B.
Union of Sets
The union A ∪ B is the set containing all elements from both A and B.
Intersection of Sets
The intersection A ∩ B consists of all elements common to both A and B.
Difference of Sets
The difference A - B contains elements in A but not in B.
Complement of a Set
A' is the set of all elements in the universal set U that are not in A.
Equal Sets
Sets A and B are equal (A = B) if they contain exactly the same elements.
Venn Diagrams
Venn diagrams visually represent relationships between sets, including union and intersection.
Universal Set
The universal set U contains all possible elements relevant to a particular discussion.
Finite vs Infinite Sets
A finite set has a specific number of elements, while an infinite set goes on indefinitely.
Set Representation
Sets can be represented in roster form (listing elements) or set-builder form (defining properties).
De Morgan's Laws
The laws state: (A ∪ B)' = A' ∩ B' and (A ∩ B)' = A' ∪ B'.
Examples of Sets
Common sets include natural numbers (N), integers (Z), rational numbers (Q), and real numbers (R).
Distinct Elements
In a set, each element must be unique; duplicates are not counted.
Cardinality
The cardinality of a set is the number of distinct elements it contains, denoted n(S).
Infinite Sets Examples
Examples include the set of all natural numbers {1, 2, 3, ...} and integers {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...}.
Set-builder Form Example
The set of all odd natural numbers can be written as {x : x is an odd natural number}.
