2. Union (set theory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_(set_theory)

   In set theory, the union (denoted by ∪) of a collection of sets is the set of all elements in the collection. [ 1 ] It is one of the fundamental operations through which sets can be combined and related to each other. A nullary union refers to a union of zero (⁠ ⁠) sets and it is by definition equal to the empty set.

3. Inclusion–exclusion principle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion–exclusion...

   Inclusion–exclusion principle. In combinatorics, a branch of mathematics, the inclusion–exclusion principle is a counting technique which generalizes the familiar method of obtaining the number of elements in the union of two finite sets; symbolically expressed as. where A and B are two finite sets and | S | indicates the cardinality of a ...

4. Venn diagram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venn_diagram

   The combined region of the two sets is called their union, denoted by A ∪ B, where A is the orange circle and B the blue. The union in this case contains all living creatures that either are two-legged or can fly (or both). The region included in both A and B, where the two sets overlap, is called the intersection of A and B, denoted by A ∩ B.

5. Intersection (set theory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_(set_theory)

   Set theory. Statement. The intersection of A and B is the set A ∩ B of elements that lie in both set A and set B . Symbolic statement. A ∩ B = {x: x ∈ A and x ∈ B} In set theory, the intersection of two sets and denoted by 1 is the set containing all elements of that also belong to or equivalently, all elements of that also belong to 2.

6. Set theory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_theory

   A derived binary relation between two sets is the subset relation, also called set inclusion. If all the members of set A are also members of set B, then A is a subset of B, denoted A ⊆ B. For example, {1, 2} is a subset of {1, 2, 3}, and so is {2} but {1, 4} is not. As implied by this definition, a set is a subset of itself.

7. De Morgan's laws - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Morgan's_laws

   The complement of the union of two sets is the same as the intersection of their complements; The complement of the intersection of two sets is the same as the union of their complements; or not (A or B) = (not A) and (not B) not (A and B) = (not A) or (not B)

   Three sets involved. [edit] In the left hand sides of the following identities, L{\displaystyle L}is the L eft most set, M{\displaystyle M}is the M iddle set, and R{\displaystyle R}is the R ight most set. Precedence rules. There is no universal agreement on the order of precedenceof the basic set operators.

9. Disjoint union - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disjoint_union

   In mathematics, the disjoint union (or discriminated union) of the sets A and B is the set formed from the elements of A and B labelled (indexed) with the name of the set from which they come. So, an element belonging to both A and B appears twice in the disjoint union, with two different labels. A disjoint union of an indexed family of sets is ...
