Topics in Sets

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')
2

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)
4

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
