Study Notes

  • Cardinality refers to the number of elements in a given set and is represented by the symbol "n" enclosed in parentheses with the set name in capital letters.
  • Example: Set A, representing primary colors like yellow, red, and blue, has a cardinality of 3.
  • Another example: Set B, representing school days in a week (Monday to Friday), has a cardinality of 5.
  • Cardinality in counting techniques is essential for determining the number of elements in a set.
  • The cardinality of an empty set should be indicated as 0, not as an empty set or null set.
  • Example: The set of days in a week has a cardinality of 0 because there are no elements.
  • Various examples are provided to calculate the cardinality of sets based on different criteria like prime numbers, even numbers, counting numbers, and multiples/factors of a specific number.
  • The importance of correctly identifying the cardinality of sets is highlighted throughout the explanation.

Learn about cardinality, which refers to the number of elements in a set. Explore examples of calculating cardinality for sets related to primary colors, school days, prime numbers, even numbers, and more. Understanding cardinality is crucial for counting techniques and accurately determining the elements in a set.
