2. Element (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   In the above examples, the cardinality of the set A is 4, while the cardinality of set B and set C are both 3. An infinite set is a set with an infinite number of elements, while a finite set is a set with a finite number of elements. The above examples are examples of finite sets. An example of an infinite set is the set of positive integers ...

3. 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 ...

4. Set-builder notation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set-builder_notation

   Set-builder notation can be used to describe a set that is defined by a predicate, that is, a logical formula that evaluates to true for an element of the set, and false otherwise. [2] In this form, set-builder notation has three parts: a variable, a colon or vertical bar separator, and a predicate. Thus there is a variable on the left of the ...

5. Enumeration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enumeration

   The term is commonly used in mathematics and computer science to refer to a listing of all of the elements of a set. The precise requirements for an enumeration (for example, whether the set must be finite , or whether the list is allowed to contain repetitions) depend on the discipline of study and the context of a given problem.

6. Euler diagram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_diagram

   Euler diagram illustrating that the set of "animals with four legs" is a subset of "animals", but the set of "minerals" is a disjoint set (it has no members in common) with "animals" Euler diagram showing the relationships between different Solar System objects

7. Union (set theory) - Wikipedia

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

   For example, the union of three sets A, B, and C contains all elements of A, all elements of B, and all elements of C, and nothing else. Thus, x is an element of A ∪ B ∪ C if and only if x is in at least one of A, B, and C. A finite union is the union of a finite number of sets; the phrase does not imply that the union set is a finite set ...

8. List of set identities and relations - Wikipedia

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

   In constructive mathematics, "not empty" and "inhabited" are not equivalent: every inhabited set is not empty but the converse is not always guaranteed; that is, in constructive mathematics, a set that is not empty (where by definition, "is empty" means that the statement () is true) might not have an inhabitant (which is an such that ).

9. Algebra of sets - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra_of_sets

   In mathematics, the algebra of sets, not to be confused with the mathematical structure of an algebra of sets, defines the properties and laws of sets, 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 ...
