2. Set (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   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 sets. [5] A set may have a finite number of elements or be an infinite set.

3. Element (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   Element (mathematics) In mathematics, an element (or member) of a set is any one of the distinct objects that belong to that set. For example, given a set called A containing the first four positive integers ( ), one could say that "3 is an element of A ", expressed notationally as .

4. 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.

5. 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".

   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.
