Key Topics to Revise
Introduction to Sets and Basic Concepts
- A set is a well-defined collection of distinct objects where each object can be clearly identified as belonging to the collection or not
- Sets are denoted by capital letters (A, B, C, etc.) and elements by small letters (a, b, c, etc.)
- If 'a' is an element of set A, we write a ∈ A (read as 'a belongs to A')
Methods of Writing Sets
- Roster/Listing Method: List all elements within curly brackets, separated by commas
- Set-builder/Rule Method: Use a variable with a condition that defines the set
- In roster method, order doesn't matter and repeated elements are written only once
Types of Sets
- Singleton Set: Contains exactly one element, e.g., A = {5}
- Empty/Null Set: Contains no elements, denoted by { } or φ (phi)
- Finite Set: Has a limited, countable number of elements (including empty set)
Equal Sets and Subsets
- Equal Sets: Two sets A and B are equal (A = B) if they contain exactly the same elements
- Order of elements doesn't affect equality - {1,2,3} = {3,1,2}
- Subset: B ⊆ A means every element of B is also in A
