    Study Notes

    Sets and Venn Diagrams

    • Understanding of unions and intersections of sets using Venn diagrams.
    • For set operations:
      • A ∪ B ∪ C represents the union of sets A, B, and C.
      • A ∩ B ∩ C represents the intersection of sets A, B, and C.
      • A ∪ (B ∩ C) combines set A with the intersection of sets B and C.

    Review Statements

    • Evaluate statements as TRUE or FALSE based on set operations:
      • Union and intersection require accurate representation of elements.
      • Attention to the empty set's properties when multiplying sets.

    Functions

    • A function ( f: A \rightarrow B ) maps each element ( x \in A ) to exactly one element ( f(x) \in B ).
    • Functions can have single or multiple elements from domain A mapping to elements in codomain B.

    Sequences

    • Finite Sequence: A sequence with a specific ending (e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14).
    • Infinite Sequence: A sequence that continues indefinitely, represented with ellipsis (e.g., 1, 1/2, 1/3, ...).

    Examples of Sequences

    • Geometric Progression: Each term after the first is generated by multiplying the previous term by a fixed number (common ratio). Example: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, with a common ratio ( r = 2 ).
    • Arithmetic Progression: Each term after the first is generated by adding a fixed number (common difference). Example: 11, 7, 3, -1, -5, with a common difference of 4.

    Graphical Representations

    • Functions can be visually represented through various methods, including:
      • Venn diagrams to show set relations.
      • Graphs to depict relationships between variables.
      • Plots to illustrate data points in a coordinate system.

    Terminology in Functions

    • A mathematical notation ( f(a) = b ) indicates that when element ( a ) from set A is input into function ( f ), it gives output ( b ) in set B.

    Basic Concepts of a Set

    • Set B includes all even natural numbers (B = {x | x ∈ W, x = 2n}).

    Power Set

    • The power set of A = {1, 2, 3} consists of all possible subsets.
    • P(A) = {{1, 2, 3}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}, {1}, {2}, {3}, ⊘}.

    Set Cardinality

    • Number of elements in a set is known as its cardinality.

    Subset Practice

    • Universal set U = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13}.
    • Subsets of U identified include:
      • C = {1, 9, 5, 13},
      • D = {5, 11, 1},
      • E = {13, 7, 9, 11, 5, 3, 1}.

    Universal Set

    • The set of integers (C) serves as a universal set for other sets like even/odd natural numbers.

    Number of Subsets

    • A set with 5 elements contains 32 subsets (2^5).
    • A set with cardinality 9 contains 512 subsets (2^9).

    Functions Terminology

    • Domain of function f: dom(f) = A.
    • Co-domain of function f: B.
    • Image of element a in A: f(a) = b.
    • Preimage of b: a.
    • Range of f: rng(f) is all images of elements from A.

    Function Visualization

    • Functions are visualized through diagrams like Venn diagrams or graph plots.

    Function Operations

    • Functions f and g can be added: (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x).
    • Functions can be multiplied: (f × g)(x) = f(x) × g(x).

    Function Composition

    • Composition of functions: (f ○ g)(a) = f(g(a)).
    • Order matters; generally, f ○ g ≠ g ○ f.

    Inverse of a Function

    • For bijections f: A → B, the inverse f⁻¹ exists such that f⁻¹(f(a)) = a.

    Important Functions

    • Floor function (⌊x⌋) returns the largest integer less than or equal to x.
    • Ceiling function (⌈x⌉) returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to x.

    Visualization of Floor & Ceiling Functions

    • Real numbers round down to their floor and up to their ceiling.
    • If x is an integer, then ⌊x⌋ = ⌈x⌉ = x.

    Example Values

    • ⌊-3.2⌋ = -4.
    • ⌊1.5⌋ = 1.
    • ⌈1.5⌉ = 2.
    • ⌈2⌉ = 2.

    Sets and Power Sets

    • Set B consists of all even natural numbers defined by the formula B = {x | x ∈ W, x = 2n}.
    • The power set P(A) of A = {1, 2, 3} includes all possible subsets: {{1,2,3}, {1,2}, {1,3}, {2,3}, {1}, {2}, {3}, ∅}.

    Set Cardinality and Subsets

    • Subset identification of universal set U = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13} shows valid subsets as C = {1, 9, 5, 13}, D = {5, 11, 1}, and E = {13, 7, 9, 11, 5, 3, 1}.
    • A universal set among given options is the set of integers (option c), which contains all other types of numbers.

    Calculating Subsets

    • The number of subsets for a set with 5 elements is 2^5 = 32.
    • For a set with 9 elements, the number of subsets is 2^9 = 512.

    Floor and Ceiling Functions

    • The floor function ⌊x⌋ returns the greatest integer less than or equal to x, while the ceiling function ⌈x⌉ returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to x.
    • Example of floor function: ⌊-3.2⌋ = -4, ⌊1.5⌋ = 1.
    • Example of ceiling function: ⌈1.5⌉ = 2, ⌈2⌉ = 2.

    Sequence Definitions

    • Finite sequence: A sequence with a last number. Example: 2, 4, 6.
    • Infinite sequence: A sequence with no last number. Example: 1, 1/2, 1/3, and so on.

    Types of Sequences

    • Geometric sequence: Each term is multiplied by a constant (common ratio). Example: 1, 2, 4, 8 (common ratio r = 2).
    • Arithmetic sequence: Each term is derived by adding a constant (common difference). Example: 11, 7, 3 (common difference = -4).

    Recurrence Relations

    • Recurrence relations define the next terms in sequences based on previous terms, as seen in the Fibonacci sequence.

    Exercises on Sequences

    • Identifying next terms from given sequences:
      • 1, 6, 11, 16, … → 21.
      • 1, 8, 27, 64, … → 125.
      • 1, 3, 6, 10, … → 15.
      • 20, 17, 13, 8, … → 2.
      • 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, … → 11.

    Zero-One Matrices

    • Operations on zero-one matrices involve using Boolean algebra; addition is replaced by OR (∨), and multiplication by AND (∧).
    • The matrix operations yield different results compared to standard arithmetic.

    Inverse of a 2x2 Matrix

    • To find the inverse of a matrix A defined as: [ A = \begin{pmatrix} a & b \ c & d \end{pmatrix} ] exchange elements of the main diagonal and change the signs of the off-diagonal elements then divide by the determinant.

    Chapter Overview

    • Covers foundational topics in Discrete Mathematics: Sets, Functions, Sequences and Summations, and Matrices.

    Basic Concepts of a Set

    • A set is an unordered collection of unique objects, called elements or members.
    • Common notation: uppercase letters represent sets; lowercase letters denote elements.

    Set Descriptions

    • Roster Method: Lists some elements of a set followed by ellipses to indicate continuation (e.g., {1, 2, ...}).
    • Set Builder Notation: Describes elements based on a property, e.g., {x | x > 0} for all positive numbers.
    • Interval Notation: Represents a range of numbers (e.g., (1, 5] includes numbers greater than 1 and up to 5).

    Examples of Set Descriptions

    • Set of all fingers: P = {thumb, index, middle, ring, little}.
    • Set of even whole numbers between 0 and 10: Q = {2, 4, 6, 8}.

    Functions

    • Functions are mappings from set A to set B, denoted as f: A → B.
    • Specific function values can be calculated using floor and ceiling functions.
    • Floor function, ⌊x⌋, returns the greatest integer less than or equal to x.
    • Ceiling function, ⌈x⌉, returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to x.

    Graphical Representations

    • Functions can be displayed graphically using various formats like Venn diagrams, graphs, and plots.

    Sequences

    • Finite Sequence: A sequence with a last number (e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14).
    • Infinite Sequence: A sequence that continues indefinitely (e.g., 1, 1/2, 1/3, ...).
    • Geometric Progression: A sequence where each term is obtained by multiplying the previous one by a constant (common ratio).
    • Arithmetic Progression: A sequence where each term differs from the preceding one by a constant (common difference).

    Matrices

    • A matrix is an array of numbers arranged in rows and columns.
    • Symmetric Matrix: A square matrix is symmetric if it mirrors across its main diagonal.
    • Zero-One Matrix: A matrix with entries of only 0s and 1s, used in algorithms based on Boolean arithmetic.

    Sample Problems

    • Floor function values:
      • ⌊−3.2⌋ = -4
      • ⌊1.5⌋ = 1
      • ⌈1.5⌉ = 2
      • ⌈2⌉ = 2
