A set of numbers arranged in a definite order according to some definite rule is called a sequence . Sequences have wide applications. For example, the amount of money in a fixed deposit in a bank, over a number of years increases in a sequenc..

Consider a simple quadratic equation x 2 + 1 = 0. There is no real number which satisfies this equation. So there was a need to find a system which could answer to this problem. Euler used the symbol 'i' to denote to solve the above equation. Complex number system consists of the ..

The number of elements in a finite set A, is the cardinality of A and is denoted by n(A..

A set can be formed by using all the common elements of two given sets. Such a collection is called the intersection of the given sets..

Capital letters are usually used to denote or represent a set. viz., A, B, C, D, . . . . The elements of sets are usually represented by lower case letters. viz., a, b, c, x, y, . ..

The family of all subsets of any set S is called the power set of S. We denote the power set of S by P (S). If a set S is finite, say S has n elements, then the power set of S can be shown to have 2 n elements..

A set is finite if it contains a specific number of elements. Otherwise, a set is an infinite set..
