Set Theory
INTRODUCTION
A set is any well defined collection of
“objects.”
The elements of a set are the objects in a
set.
Subsets consists of elements from
the given set.
Empty set/Null set is the set that contains no
elements.
Universal set is the set of all possible
elements.
Why are Sets Important?
or { }
• The Universal Set. This is the set of all elements
currently under consideration, and is often symbolized
by
U
Universal Sets
{} or Ø
Subsets {3,4,5}

Set Definition
U= { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 }
Set Complement
~A or A′
• “A complement,” or “not A” is the set of all
elements not in A.

A B
• “A union B ” is the set of all elements that are
in A, or B, or both.
A B
Examples
A {1,2,3} B {3,4,5,6}
• A B {3}
• A B {1,2,3,4,5,6}
conclusion
• In conclusion, sets are an important concept in mathematics that allow us to group
elements together and study their properties. Sets can be finite or infinite, empty
or non-empty, and can contain any type of elements. Some common operations on
sets include intersection, union, complement, and subset/superset relations.
• The study of sets forms the foundation for many areas of mathematics, including
set theory, algebra, topology, and analysis. The concept of sets has also found
applications in fields such as computer science, physics, and engineering.
• Understanding the different types of sets and their properties can be useful in
solving problems across a wide range of disciplines, and can help us to better
understand the structure of the world around us.
