    Study Notes

    Sets

    • Sets are fundamental in modern mathematics, used in nearly every branch of the field.
    • Sets define relations and functions.
    • Georg Cantor, a German mathematician (1845-1918), developed set theory.
    • Sets are collections of objects of a specific kind.
    • Well-defined collections of objects are sets.

    Set Representations

    • Roster form: Lists elements within braces { }, separated by commas.
      • Example: {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} (Odd natural numbers less than 10)
      • Order of elements is irrelevant
    • Set-builder form: Defines a set by describing its elements' properties inside braces{ }.
      • Example: {x | x is a vowel in the English alphabet}

    Special Sets

    • N: Natural numbers (1, 2, 3, ...)
    • Z: Integers (...-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...)
    • Q: Rational numbers (fractions)
    • R: Real numbers (all numbers on the number line)
    • Z+: Positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...)
    • Q+: Positive rational numbers (positive fractions)
    • R+: Positive real numbers

    Empty Set

    • A set with no elements is called the empty set (∅ or {}).

    Finite and Infinite Sets

    • Finite sets: Have a definite number of elements.
    • Infinite sets: Do not have a definite number of elements.
      • Examples include natural numbers, integers, and real numbers.

    Equal Sets

    • Two sets are equal if they have the exact same elements.
    • The order of elements in a set does not matter.

    Subsets

    • A set A is a subset of set B (A ⊂ B) if every element of A is also in B.
    • Every set is a subset of itself.
    • The empty set is a subset of every set.

    Set Operations

    • Union (∪): Combines elements from both sets, listing each element only once.
    • Intersection (∩): Combines elements common to both sets.
    • Difference (–): Combines elements from the first set that are not in the second set.
      • Example: A – B = elements in A but not in B
