    Set

    A collection of well-defined objects.

    Describe a set

    Sets can be described using the roster method (listing elements) or set-builder notation (using a rule).

    Set Operations

    Actions performed on sets, like union, intersection, complement, and difference.

    Venn Diagram

    A visual representation of sets using circles to show relationships between them.

    Set Theory

    A fundamental mathematical concept that involves grouping similar objects or elements together.

    Signup and view all the flashcards

    What are the two ways to describe sets?

    Sets can be described by:

    1. Listing or Roster Method: Listing each element within curly braces, e.g., {1, 2, 3}.
    2. Set-Builder Notation: Defining the set by a rule or property, e.g., {x | x is an even number between 1 and 10}.

    Addition of natural numbers

    Adding two natural numbers results in another natural number. It follows the rule: 𝑚∗ + n = (𝑚 + 𝑛)∗, where 𝑚∗ is the successor of m.

    Multiplication of natural numbers

    Multiplying any natural number with 1 results in the same number. For other cases, it follows the rule: 𝑚.𝑛∗ = 𝑚𝑛 + 𝑚, where 𝑛∗ is the successor of n.
