Study Notes
- Aims to clarify the concept of sets and their elements
- Focuses on identifying elements within numerical sets
Idea of a Set
- A set refers to well-defined collections of distinct objects, known as elements, which can be concrete or abstract
- Sets are denoted by uppercase letters (A, B, C, etc.)
- Elements within a set are separated by commas (,) or semicolons (;), or by stating a common property among the elements
Examples of Sets
- Set of vowels is B = {a, e, i, o, u}
- Set of positive integers Z+ = {1, 2, 3, 4,...}
- Set of even natural numbers less than 12 and greater than zero M = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
Numerical Sets
- 2.1 Natural Numbers (N)
- 2.2 Integers (Z) include negative integers (e.g., Z= {-1, -2, -3, -4, -5,...})
- Denoted as Z = Z- ∪ {O} ∪ Z+, where Z+ = {2; 3; 4; 5; ...} represents positive integers
Cardinality of a Set
- The cardinality of a set is the number of distinct elements in a finite set
Cardinality Examples
- Set A = {a; e; i; o; u} has a cardinality of n(A) = 5
- Interpreted as "The cardinal of «A» is 5."
- Set C = {1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7} has a cardinality of n(C) = 7
- Set W = {1; 3; 5; 7; 9; 11; 13} has a cardinality of n(W) = 7
- Set A = {m, e, m, i, n} has a cardinality of n(A) = 4
- Set B = {4; 4; 3; 3} has a cardinality of n(B) = 2
Determining Sets
- Sets can be determined by Extension and Comprehension
Determining Sets: Extension
- Lists its elements explicitly
- Example: A = {7; 8; 9; 10; 11}, where A is the set whose elements are 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11
Determining Sets: Comprehension
- States a common property that characterizes its elements
- Example: A = {x/x ∈ N; 6 < x < 12}
- Where A is the set whose elements «x», are the values of such that «x» is a natural number and also is greater than 6 but less than 12
Relation of Belonging
- If an element is in a set, it "belongs" to the set, denoted by the symbol «∈ »
- If it does not belong, it’s denoted by « ∉»
