2. Algebra of sets - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra_of_sets

   Fundamentals. 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. Venn diagram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venn_diagram

   A Venn diagram is a widely used diagram style that shows the logical relation between sets, popularized by John Venn (1834–1923) in the 1880s. The diagrams are used to teach elementary set theory, and to illustrate simple set relationships in probability, logic, statistics, linguistics and computer science.

   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. 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.

   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.

7. Subset - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset

   In mathematics, a set A is a subset of a set B if all elements of A are also elements of B; B is then a superset of A. It is possible for A and B to be equal; if they are unequal, then A is a proper subset of B. The relationship of one set being a subset of another is called inclusion (or sometimes containment).
