Set Theory
*Make sure you leave a few empty line under each word & definition to
provide examples and/or illustrations
Vocabulary
A set is any well defined collection of objects.
A= 1,2,3,4,5,6
Give a verbal description
A is the set of all integers from 1 to 6,
inclusive
Give a mathematical inclusion rule
A=Integers x 1 x 6
Some Special Sets
The Null Set or Empty Set. This is a set with no
elements, often symbolized by
or {}
The Universal Set. This is the set of all elements
currently under consideration, and is often
symbolized by
U
Universal Sets
The universal set is the set of all things
pertinent to a given discussion
and is designated by the symbol U
Example:
U = {all students at Brandeis}
Some Subsets:
A = {all Computer Technology students}
B = {freshmen students}
C = {sophomore students}
What?!?
Find the Subsets
What are all the subsets of {3, 4, 5}
{} or
{3,4,5}

Combining Sets Set Union
A B
A union B is the set of all elements that
are in A, or B, or both.
A B
A intersect B is the set of all elements that
are in both A and B.
This is similar to the logical and
Venn Diagrams
Venn Diagrams use topological areas to
stand for sets. Ive done this one for you.
