Study Notes
Set Definitions
- Set notation uses elements enclosed in curly braces, e.g., ( A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} ).
- Elements can be part of a set (∈) or not part of a set (∉), such as ( 2 \in A ) and ( 6 \notin A ).
Set Operations
-
Complement of set ( A ) relative to a universal set (U) includes all elements in U not in ( A ). For ( A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} ) and ( B = {2, 4, 6, 8} ):
- ( A' = {1, 3, 5} )
- ( B' = {6, 8} )
-
Union ( ∪ ) combines elements from two sets. Using the previous examples:
- ( A \cup B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8} )
-
Symmetric Difference (⊕) includes elements that are in either of the sets but not in their intersection:
- ( A ⊕ B = {1, 3, 5, 6, 8} )
Fundamental Concepts
- Principle of Duality: Any identity involving set operations has a dual identity. If one statement is true, its dual form is also true.
- Example of duality: If a property is valid for set operation ( A ), it will also hold for its dual ( A' ).
Set Representation
- Roster Form: Lists all elements explicitly; e.g., the set of positive integers less than 10 is ( {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} ).
- Set-Builder Form: Defines a set by a property the elements satisfy; e.g., ( A = { x | x \text{ is a positive integer less than } 10 } ).
Special Sets
- The empty set (∅) represents no elements, while the zero set can contain an element but does not indicate emptiness.
- Example of a zero set: A set of people living in the sun or set of triangles having four sides would be invalid as per their definitions.
Important Note
- The identification of specific sets and operations is crucial for solving problems in set theory and statistics.
