introduction to set theory mathematics

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

This method is also known as Property method. In this method, a set is represented by stating all the properties which are satisfied by the elements of the set and not by any other element. If A contains all values of 'x' for which the condition P(x) is true, then we write A = ..

Idempotent laws - If A is any set,th..

Introduction - A binomial is an algebraic expression of two terms which are connected by the operations '+' or '-'. For example, x - y, a + 3b, x 3 + 4y etc. are binomials. We know that, For n = 1,2,3,4, the expansion of (a + b) n , has been expressed in a very systematical manner in term..

Introduction - We use specific number of digits to denote an exact value of a number for required accuracy. The digits used for such a purpose are called significant figures. Suppose a measurement is recorded as 0.6204 cm. It means that the measurement was made correct to the nearest 0.00..

The relative complement of set B in set A is the complement of B in ..

Introduction - The word 'Induction' means method of reasoning from individual cases to general ones or from observed instances to unobserved ones. Many important mathematical formulae are such that a result is formed by some means which does not provide for a direct proof. ..

Set of real numbers is a proper subset of the set of Complex number..

: Two sets A and B are said to be equal if and only if they contain the same elements i.e. if every element of A is in B and every element of B is in A. We denote the equality by A = B. Cardinality of a Set A: The number of elements in a finite set A, is the cardinalit..
