Study Notes
Introduction to Sets
- A set is a well-defined collection of distinct objects called elements.
- Sets are usually denoted by capital letters and elements by lowercase letters or numbers enclosed in curly braces.
- Example: A = {1, 2, 3}
Set Membership
-
Symbol:
x ∈ Aindicates x is an element of set A;x ∈/ Aindicates x is not an element of set A. - Example: Given A = {1, 2, 3}, then 2 ∈ A and 4 ∈/ A.
Subsets
- Definition: A set A is a subset of B (A ⊆ B) if every element of A is also an element of B.
- Proper Subset: A set A is a proper subset of B (A ⊂ B) if A ⊆ B and A ≠ B.
- Example: Given A = {1, 2} and B = {1, 2, 3}, then A ⊂ B.
Supersets
- Definition: If every element of B is also an element of A, then A is a superset of B (A ⊇ B), which implies B ⊆ A.
- Proper Superset: A is a proper superset of B (A ⊃ B) if A ⊇ B and A ̸= B.
Power Sets (P(A))
- Definition: The power set of a set A contains all possible subsets of A, including the empty set (∅).
- Notation: P(A)
- Example: If A = {1, 2}, then P(A) = {∅, {1}, {2}, {1, 2}}.
- Formula: For a set with n elements, the power set has 2^n elements.
Set Operations
- Union (A ∪ B): Contains all elements from both sets without duplication.
- Intersection (A ∩ B): Contains only the elements common to both sets.
- Difference (A − B, A \ B): Contains elements in A but not in B.
- Complement (A′ or A): Consists of all elements in the universal set (U) that are not in A.
Venn Diagrams
- Visual representations of sets and their relationships using circles.
Applications of Set Theory
- Data organization and classification.
- Probability and statistics.
- Logic and mathematical reasoning.
- Computer science and database management.
