Study Notes

Sets and Subsets

A set is a well-defined collection of distinct objects.
{a, b, c} represents a set containing elements 'a', 'b', and 'c'.
A subset (X ⊆ Y) is a set where all elements of X are also in Y.
A proper subset (X ⊂ Y) is a subset where Y has at least one element not in X.
N = {1, 2, 3, 4, ...} represents the set of natural numbers.
W = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...} represents the set of whole numbers.
N ⊆ W signifies that natural numbers are a subset of whole numbers.

Set Operations

The intersection of sets (X ∩ Y) contains elements common to both X and Y.
Disjoint sets have no common elements, meaning their intersection is an empty set (X ∩ Y = ∅).
The difference of sets (X - Y) contains elements present in X but not in Y.
The complement of a set (X') is the set of all elements in the universal set that are not in X.
The Cartesian product of two sets (X x Y) creates ordered pairs combining elements from both sets.

De Morgan's Law

This law states that the complement of the union of two sets is the intersection of their complements: (X ∪ Y)' = X' ∩ Y'
An example: If U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, A = {2, 3} and B = {3, 4, 5}, then (A ∪ B)' = {1, 6} and A' ∩ B' = {1, 6}, demonstrating the law.
The complement of the intersection of two sets is the union of their complements: (X ∩ Y)' = X' ∪ Y'

Matrices

Matrices are rectangular arrays of numbers arranged in rows and columns.
They are used to solve systems of linear equations and have applications in various fields.
Different types of matrices exist, including square matrices, identity matrices, and zero matrices.
Matrix operations include addition/subtraction, multiplication, and finding the determinant.
The rank of a matrix represents its degree of linear independence.

Venn Diagrams

Venn diagrams visually represent relationships between sets.
Each set is represented by a circle, and overlapping areas show common elements.
They are useful for understanding set operations and relationships.
