    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'
