    This document defines common symbols used in set theory and probability. It provides the symbol, name, meaning or definition, and examples for each symbol. Some key symbols include: {} for a set; ∩ for intersection of sets; ∪ for union of sets; ⊆ for subset; ∈ for element of a set; |A| or #A for the cardinality (number of elements) of set A; and Ø for the empty set containing no elements.

    definition

    A = {3,7,9,14},
    {} set a collection of elements
    B = {9,14,28}
    A = {x | x∈ ,
    | such that so that
    x<0}
    objects that belong to set A
    A∩B intersection
    and set B
    A ∩ B = {9,14}

    objects that belong to set A A∪B=


    A∪B union
    or set B {3,7,9,14,28}

    A is a subset of B. set A is {9,14,28} ⊆


    A⊆B subset
