SET THEORY
1) Set: A set is a collection of well defined and well distinguished objects of our perception or thought.
The words 'well defined objects ' imply that we must be given a rule with the help of which we should readily be able to say whether a particular object 'belongs to' the set of not. The words 'well distinguished objects ' imply that if the objects of the collection be named, then in doing so, the number of objects will not increase.
The set are usually denoted by capital letters of English alphabet viz, A, B, CA
2) ELEMENTS
The objects, which constitute the set, are said to be elements of the set.
These are also known as members or points of the set. The elements are usually denoted by small letters of English alphabet viz, a, b, c,....
i) If a is an element of the set A, we write it as a ∈A and is ready as " a belongs to A"
ii) If a is not an element of the set A, we write it as a∉ A and is ready as " a does not belong to A"
3) REPRESENTATION OF SETS
There are two methods to represent a set.
a) Roster /Tabulation Method. In this method, the set is represented by listing all its elements, saparating the elements by commas and enclosing them in curvilinear brackets.
b) Defining Property Method. In this method, the set is represented by specifying the common property of the elements.
Thus the set A is represented by A= {a: P(A) is true}.
Here 'a' stands for 'an arbitrary elements' of the set' and (:) stands for 'such that' and P(A) stands for 'common property '
4) FINITE AND INFINITE SETS
a) finite set. If it has finite number of elements.
b) Infinite set. If it has an infinite number of elements.
Order of a finite set is the number of elements it contains.
The order of a finite set A is denoted by O(A).
5) EMPTY SET
A set having no element is....
It is also called Null set or Void set.
6) SINGLETON SET
A set having only one element is....
7) SUB-SETS
a) Subset. Let A and B be two sets. Then the set A is said to be a subset of the set B if each element of A is also an element of B.
Symbolically, we write it as A⊆ B.
Here B is superset of A and is written as B⊇A.
b) Proper Subset. A set A is a proper subset of B if and only if each element of A is in B and there is atleast one element in B, which is not in A.
Symbolically, if A is a proper subset of B, then A ⊂B and A≠ B or A ⊂ B
8) COMPARABLE SETS
Two sets are said to be comparable iff either A ⊂B or B⊃A.
9) EQUAL AND EQUIVALENT SETS
a) Equal Sets. Two sets A and B are said to be equal (written as A= B) iff A ⊂B and B ⊂A.
Two sets A and B are said to be equal if they have exactly same elements.
b) Equivalent Sets , Two sets are said to be equivalent if they have same number of elements.
10) FAMILY OF SETS
A set said to be family of sets if it's elements are also sets.
This is also known as set of sets.
If A= {a,b}, then S={φ, {a}, {b}, {a,b} is the set of sets.
11) POWER SET
The set of all possible subsets of a set A is said to be the power set of A and is denoted by P(A).
If a= P{a,b,c}, then P(A)={φ, {a}{b}, {c}, {a,b}, {b,c}, {a,c}, {a,b,c}}.
12) UNIVERSAL SET
The main set under discussion or the set containing all possible values in the given frame of reference is said to be universal set and is denoted by U or E or X.
13) OPERATIONS IN SETS
a) Union of Sets.
(I) Let A and B be two sets. The union of A and B (denoted by A U B) is the set of all those elements which are either in A or in B or in both.
Symbolically, A∪B= x: x ∈A or x ∈ B}.
II) Let A₁, A₂,..., Aₙ be n(≥2) sets. Then the union of these (denoted by ⁿᵢ₌₁U Aᵢ) is the set of all those elements which are in Aᵢ (1≤ i≤ n) for atleast one value of i.
b) Intersection of sets.
I) Let A and B be two sets. The intersection of A and B (denoted by A∩B) is the set of all those elements which are in both A and B.
II) Let A₁, A₂, .....,Aₙ be n(≥2) sets. Then the intersection of these (denoted by ⁿᵢ₌₁ ∩Aᵢ) is the set of all those elements which are in Aᵢ(1≤ i≤ n) for each i.

iii) Commutative Laws. A ∪ B= B ∪ A, A ∩ B= B∩ A
iv) Associative Laws. A∪(B ∪C)= (A∪B) ∪ C
A∩(B∩C)= (A∩B)∩C
c) Distributive Laws, A∪ +B∩C)= (A∪B)∩(A ∪ C)
A∩(B∪C)= (A∩B)∪(A∩C).
15) Disjoit Sets
If and only if they have no common element.
Let A and B be two sets
Here A ∩B= φ.
16) DIFFERENCE OF SETS
Let A and B be two sets. Then (A - B) is the set of those elements of the set A which are not in the set B.
Symbolically. A - B= {x: x ∈A and x ∉B}
Similarly, B - A ={x: x ∈B and x ∉A}
17) SYMMETRIC DIFFERENCE OF SETS
Let A and B be two sets. Then their symmetric difference is the union of the sets A- B and B- A. This is denoted by A ∆B.
Symbolically
A∆B ={x: x ∈A - B or x ∈B - A}
18) COMPLEMENT OF A SET
Let X be the universal set and A be any set. Then the complement of the set A is the set of all those elements of X, which are not in the set A.
This is denoted by Aᶜ or A' or X - A
Symbolically, Aᶜ={x: x∈X and x ∉A}.
