Study Notes
Sets
- Sets are fundamental in modern mathematics, used across various branches.
- Defining mathematical concepts like relations and functions relies on sets.
- Sets are collections of objects of a specific type. Examples include packs of cards, groups of people, or prime numbers.
- Collections are well-defined, allowing clear determination of whether an object belongs to a collection.
- German mathematician Georg Cantor developed set theory.
- Sets are usually represented by capital letters (e.g., A, B, C) and elements by lowercase letters (e.g., a, b, c).
Set Representations
- Roster Form: Lists all elements within curly braces, separated by commas. The order is not important. Example: {1, 2, 3}
- Set-builder Form: Defines a set by describing a characteristic property its elements share. Example: {x: x is a natural number less than 5}
Special Sets
- N: Natural numbers (1, 2, 3, ...)
- Z: Integers (...-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3...)
- Q: Rational numbers
- R: Real numbers
- Z+: Positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...)
- Q+: Positive rational numbers
- R+: Positive real numbers
Empty Sets
- A set with no elements is called a null set or empty set. Symbolized by Ø or {}.
Finite and Infinite Sets
- A set with a fixed number of elements is finite.
- A set with an unending number of elements is infinite. Examples include the set of natural numbers, and the set of integers.
Equal Sets
- Two sets are equal if they have precisely the same elements, regardless of order.
- A set does not change if elements are repeated in its description.
Subsets
- A set A is a subset of a set B (A⊂B) if every element of A is also an element of B.
- Every set is a subset of itself.
- An empty set is a subset of every set.
Operations on Sets
- Union (∪): The set of all elements in either set A or set B (or both).
- Intersection (∩): The set of elements common to both set A and set B.
- Difference (–): Contains elements in set A, but not in set B.
- Complement: Contains elements in the universal set that are not part of the set in question.
Venn Diagrams
- Diagrams used to represent relationships between sets.
- Circles illustrate sets, and overlapping areas represent interactions.
