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.
