    Study Notes

    Sets

    • A set is a collection of elements
    • A set of elements can be finite or infinite
    • A universal set is the complete set of all elements
    • Sets can be represented by listing elements or by using a set builder notation
    • Sets have operations including union, intersection, difference, and complement
    • DeMorgan's laws define how unions and intersections relate to complements
    • An empty or null set has no elements
    • A subset is a set where all elements are contained in another set
    • A proper subset is a subset that is not equal to the larger set
    • Disjoint sets have no common elements
    • The cardinality of a set is the number of elements within the set
    • A powerset is a set of all the subsets of a set
    • The Cartesian product of sets is the set of all ordered pairs where the first element comes from the first set and the second element comes from the second set

    Functions

    • Functions map elements of one set to elements of another set
    • The domain is the set of input elements
    • The range is the set of output elements
    • Functions can be total (all domain elements are mapped) or partial (not all domain elements are mapped)

    Relations

    • A relation is a set of ordered pairs that show a relationship between elements of two sets
    • Equivalence relations are reflexive, symmetric, and transitive
    • Equivalence classes are sets of elements that are equivalent to each other

    Graphs

    • A graph is a set of nodes (vertices) connected by edges
    • A directed graph shows direction for connections between nodes
    • Labeled graphs have labels for nodes and edges
    • A walk is a sequence of adjacent edges
    • A path is a walk where no edge is repeated
    • A simple path is a path where no node is repeated
    • A cycle is a walk from a node to itself
    • A simple cycle is a cycle where only the base node is repeated
    • An Euler tour is a cycle that contains each edge once
    • A Hamiltonian cycle is a simple cycle that contains all nodes

    Trees

    • Trees are graphs with no cycles
    • A root is the top node in a tree
    • A leaf is a node with no children
    • Nodes above a given node are its parents
    • Nodes below a given node are its children
    • The level of a node is its distance from the root
    • The height of a tree is its maximum level
    • Binary trees have a maximum of two children per node

    Proof Techniques

    • Proof by induction uses a base case and a step by step approach to prove a statement
    • Proof by contradiction attempts to prove a statement by showing that if the statement is false, then a contradiction arises
    • Proof by induction uses a base case and a step by step approach to prove the validity of a statement
    • Proof by contradiction attempts to prove a statement by showing that if the statement is false, then a contradiction arises
