What are the terminologies in set theory?

There are many technical terminologies that we need to understand to improve our learning of set theory. Some of them are explained below: Sets….2. Universal Set.

What does ∩ mean in set theory?

The intersection operation
The intersection operation is denoted by the symbol ∩. The set A ∩ B—read “A intersection B” or “the intersection of A and B”—is defined as the set composed of all elements that belong to both A and B.

What is the meaning of this symbol ∩?

intersection
∩ The symbol ∩ means intersection. Given two sets S and T, S ∩ T is used to denote the set {x|x ∈ S and x ∈ T}. For example {1,2,3}∩{3,4,5} = {3}.

What is the symbol of universal set?

‘U’
A universal set is a set which contains all the elements or objects of other sets, including its own elements. It is usually denoted by the symbol ‘U’. Suppose Set A consists of all even numbers such that, A = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, …} and set B consists of all odd numbers, such that, B = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, …}.

What does C mean in set theory?

complement of a
In set theory, the complement of a set A, often denoted by Ac (or A′), is the set of elements not in A.

What are the symbols in set theory?

Union of the sets A and B,denoted A∪B,is the set of all objects that are a member of A,or B,or both.

  • Intersection of the sets A and B,denoted A ∩ B,is the set of all objects that are members of both A and B.
  • Set difference of U and A,denoted U\\A,is the set of all members of U that are not members of A.
  • What are some examples of set theory?

    Examples include Switzerland and some U.S. states, where frequent use is made of referendums and initiatives. The Swiss confederation is a semi-direct democracy. [178] At the federal level, citizens can propose changes to the constitution ( federal popular initiative ) or ask for a referendum to be held on any law voted by the parliament . [178]

    What is basic set theory?

    Finite set: The number of elements is finite

  • Infinite set: The number of elements are infinite
  • Empty set: It has no elements
  • Singleton set: It has one only element
  • Equal set: Two sets are equal if they have same elements
  • Equivalent set: Two sets are equivalent if they have same number of elements
  • Power set: A set of every possible subset.
  • What are the symbols of sets?

    Empty Set. A set which does not contain any element is called an empty set or void set or null set.

  • Singleton Set. A set which contains a single element is called a singleton set.
  • Finite set. A set which consists of a definite number of elements is called a finite set.
  • Infinite set.
  • Equivalent set.
  • Equal sets.
  • Disjoint Sets.
  • Subsets.
  • Proper Subset.
  • Superset.
