Study Notes
Set Theory Basics
- The term "elements" refers to the objects that belong to a set.
- Set notation describes how sets are represented and structured in mathematics.
Forms of Set Description
- The roster form involves writing the elements of a set separated by commas and enclosed within braces (e.g., {a, b, c}).
- The set builder form describes a set by stating the properties that its members must satisfy, often represented as {x | property of x} (e.g., {x | x is an even number}).
Characteristics of Set Builder Form
- The set builder form is also known as "set comprehension."
- It provides a concise way to define infinite sets or sets with specific properties.
Roster Form
- In roster form, elements are explicitly listed and are separated by commas within braces.
- This form is simple and effective for small sets or well-defined finite sets.
