Study Notes
Relations in Mathematics
- A universal relation is a relation that relates every element of a set to every element of another set.
Types of Relations
- The empty relation is a type of relation that has no element of a set related to any other element.
Functions and Relations
- Functions are a type of relation where every element in the domain is related to exactly one element in the codomain.
Equivalence Relations
- An equivalence relation is a relation that is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive, having significance in mathematics for defining equivalence classes.
Extreme Types of Relations
- The two extreme types of relations based on their content are the universal relation and the empty relation.
Origins of the Term 'Relation'
- The concept of the term 'relation' in mathematics is derived from the everyday usage of the word, describing a connection or association between things.
Representation in Relations
- A and B represent two sets in a relation, where elements from set A can be related to elements from set B.
Examples of Relations
- The relation "is at least as old as" represents a relation from A to B based on the age of the students, where elements from set A (students) are related to elements from set B (ages).
Basis of Relations
- The basis for determining relations from A to B is the connection or association between the elements of the two sets.
Mathematical Beauty
- G. H. Hardy asserts that mathematical beauty lies in the fact that it is eternal and unchanging, and that it is not a human discovery but a reality waiting to be uncovered.
