Study Notes
Sets & Elements
- A set is a collection of distinct objects called elements or members.
- ∈ signifies an element belongs to a set.
- ∉ signifies an element does not belong to a set.
- ∅ or {} represents an empty set with no elements.
Set Representations
- Rule Method: Describes the set using words.
- Roster Method: Lists elements within braces separated by commas.
- Set-Builder Notation: Uses mathematical notation to describe elements or their properties.
Finite Sets & Cardinality
- Finite set: Has a countable number of elements.
- Cardinal number (n(A)) represents the number of elements in a finite set A.
Set Equality & Equivalence
- A = B (Set Equality): Sets A and B have exactly the same elements.
- A ~ B (Set Equivalence): Sets A and B have the same number of elements.
Complements, Subsets & Venn Diagrams
- Universal set (U): The set of all elements considered.
- Subset (A ⊆ B): Every element of set A is also an element of set B.
- Venn Diagram: Visual representation of relationships between sets and elements.
Set Operations
- Union (A ∪ B): Elements belonging to either A or B or both.
- Intersection (A ∩ B): Elements belonging to both A and B.
- Complement (A'): Elements of the universal set U that are not in A.
- Set difference (A \ B): Elements in A but not in B.
- Symmetric difference (A Δ B): Elements in either A or B but not in both.
- Cartesian product (A × B): Set of all ordered pairs (a, b) where a ∈ A and b ∈ B.
Properties of Set Operations
- Commutative Properties: A ∪ B = B ∪ A and A ∩ B = B ∩ A
- Associative Properties: (A ∪ B) ∪ C = A ∪ (B ∪ C) and (A ∩ B) ∩ C = A ∩ (B ∩ C)
- Distributive Properties: (A ∪ B) ∩ C = (A ∩ C) ∪ (B ∩ C) and (A ∩ B) ∪ C = (A ∪ C) ∩ (B ∪ C)
- De Morgan’s Laws: (A ∪ B)' = A' ∩ B' and (A ∩ B)' = A' ∪ B'
