Study Notes

Lecture Two: Set Theory

  • Set theory is a branch of mathematics that deals with well-defined collections of objects.
  • This lecture provides foundational knowledge in mathematical logic.

Lecture Objectives

  • Understand set definitions and types
  • Grasp set operations and analysis
  • Learn various representation methods
  • Apply Venn diagrams in set analysis

Definition of a Set

  • A set is a collection of distinct objects.
  • Elements (members) of a set can be listed in any order.
  • Membership is denoted by ∈.
  • Example: A = {4, 6, 8, 13}

Other Definitions

  • Finite set: A set with a limited number of elements
  • Infinite set: A set with an unlimited number of elements
  • Subset: A set where all members are also members of another set (denoted by ⊂)
  • Universal Set: Contains all elements under consideration within a specific context.
  • Null set (empty set): A set containing no elements, denoted by {} or Ø.
  • Equal Sets: Sets with identical elements.

Methods of Set Representation

  • Descriptive method: Describes the set using a rule or property, for example P = {x | 0 ≤ x ≤ 7} (or P = {x| x = 0,1,2,...,7} )
  • Enumerative method: Lists all the elements of the set, enclosed in curly braces {}, for example P = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}

Venn Diagrams and Set Operations

  • Venn diagrams visually represent sets and their relationships.
  • The universal set (U) is represented by a rectangle, subsets by circles inside.
  • Complement: Elements in the universal set that are not in a specific set (denoted by A').
  • Intersection: Elements common to two or more sets (denoted by ∩).
  • Union: Combined elements of two or more sets (denoted by ∪).
  • Mutually Exclusive (Disjoint) Sets: Sets with no common elements (intersection is the null set).
  • Union Elements that include items from one or both sets.

Laws of Set Algebra

  • Commutative law: Order of union or intersection does not affect the result (A ∪ B = B ∪ A; A ∩ B = B ∩ A)
  • Associative law: Grouping of multiple sets in union or intersection doesn't affect the result.
  • Distributive law: Combining unions and intersections in specific ways (A ∪ (B ∩ C) = (A ∪ B) ∩ (A ∪ C); A ∩ (B ∪ C) = (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C))

Summary

  • Set theory is crucial for understanding relationships between collections of objects.
  • Venn diagrams are useful for visualising sets.
  • Set operations like union, intersection, and complement can be used to determine relationships between sets.
