2. Algebra of sets - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra_of_sets

   The algebra of sets is the set-theoretic analogue of the algebra of numbers. Just as arithmetic addition and multiplication are associative and commutative, so are set union and intersection; just as the arithmetic relation "less than or equal" is reflexive, antisymmetric and transitive, so is the set relation of "subset".

3. Equality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equality_(mathematics)

   In first-order logic without equality, two sets are defined to be equal if they contain the same elements. Then the axiom of extensionality states that two equal sets are contained in the same sets. [30] Set theory definition: (=) := , ()

4. Set (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_(mathematics)

   A set of polygons in an Euler diagram This set equals the one depicted above since both have the very same elements.. In mathematics, a set is a collection of different [1] things; [2] [3] [4] these things are called elements or members of the set and are typically mathematical objects of any kind: numbers, symbols, points in space, lines, other geometrical shapes, variables, or even other ...

5. List of set identities and relations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_set_identities_and...

   This article lists mathematical properties and laws of sets, involving the set-theoretic operations of union, intersection, and complementation and the relations of set equality and set inclusion. It also provides systematic procedures for evaluating expressions, and performing calculations, involving these operations and relations.

6. 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.

7. Intersection (set theory) - Wikipedia

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

   Algebra of sets – Identities and relationships involving sets; Cardinality – Definition of the number of elements in a set; Complement – Set of the elements not in a given subset; Intersection (Euclidean geometry) – Shape formed from points common to other shapes

8. Set theory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_theory

   Set theory as a foundation for mathematical analysis, topology, abstract algebra, and discrete mathematics is likewise uncontroversial; mathematicians accept (in principle) that theorems in these areas can be derived from the relevant definitions and the axioms of set theory. However, it remains that few full derivations of complex mathematical ...

9. Power set - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_set

   The power set of the set of natural numbers can be put in a one-to-one correspondence with the set of real numbers (see Cardinality of the continuum). The power set of a set S, together with the operations of union, intersection and complement, is a Σ-algebra over S and can be viewed as the prototypical example of a Boolean algebra.
