Study Notes
Sets
- Sets are well-defined collections of objects.
- Elements within a set are not repeated.
- Sets can be represented using roster or set-builder notation.
- Roster notation lists all elements within curly brackets.
- Set-builder notation describes the elements using a rule.
Types of Sets
- Empty Set (Null Set): A set with no elements (denoted by Ø or {}).
- Finite Set: A set with a countable number of elements.
- Infinite Set: A set with an uncountable number of elements.
- Equal Sets: Sets containing the same elements.
- Subset: Every element of set A is also an element of set B.
- Proper Subset: Set A is a subset of set B, but A is not equal to B.
- Superset: Set B contains all elements of set A.
- Disjoint Sets: Sets with no common elements.
Set Operations
- Union (A∪B): All elements of set A or B (or both).
- Intersection (A∩B): Common elements in sets A and B.
- Difference (A–B): Elements in A but not in B.
- Complement (A'): Elements that are not in A (within a universal set).
Intervals
- Closed Interval [a, b]: Includes a and b.
- Open Interval (a, b): Does not include a or b.
- Half-Open/Half-Closed Interval: Includes or excludes one endpoint.
Venn Diagrams
- Visual representation of sets and their relationships.
- Used to show set operations (union, intersection, difference).
Power Set
- Set of all subsets of a given set.
- Number of elements in a power set with n elements = 2n.
De Morgan's Laws
- (A∪B)' = A'∩B'
- (A∩B)' = A'∪B'
Cardinality
- Number of elements in a set (denoted as n(A)).
Set Properties
- Commutative property for union and intersection
- Associative property for union and intersection
- Distributive properties relating to intersections and unions.
Practical Applications of Sets
- Practical problems involve applying set theory to real-world contexts e.g., in daily life or in other subjects like probability and statistics.
