What to Focus On

  • A set must be well-defined (no ambiguity about membership)
  • Elements in a set are distinct (no repetition)
  • Order of elements doesn't matter

  • Roster Method: List all elements separated by commas within curly braces
  • Set-Builder Method: Define set using a characteristic property
  • Use appropriate notation: {x : condition} or {x | condition}

  • Empty Set (∅): Contains no elements
  • Finite Set: Contains countable number of elements
  • Infinite Set: Contains uncountable elements

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Students believe that A ∪ B means 'A and B' instead of 'A or B'

Students think n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) always, forgetting to subtract the overlap

Students confuse A - B with B - A, thinking set difference is commutative
