The Universal Set
In previous lessons, we learned that a set is a group of objects, and that Venn diagrams can be used to illustrate both set relationships and logical relationships. Example 1: Given A = {1, 2, 5, 6} and B = {3, 9}, what is the relationship between these sets? A and B have no elements in common. This relationship is shown in the […]

Lesson on Subsets
Example 1: Given A = {1, 2, 4} and B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, what is the relationship between these sets? We say that A is a subset of B, since every element of A is also in B. This is denoted by: A Venn diagram for the relationship between these sets is shown to the right. Answer: A is a subset of B. Another way to define […]

Venn Diagrams
Until now, we have examined sets using set notation. We know from previous lessons that the following conventions are used with sets: Capital letters are used to denote sets. Lowercase letters are used to denote elements of sets. Curly braces { } denote a list of elements in a set. Another way to look at […]

Problem 1: Mrs. Glosser asked Kyesha, Angie and Eduardo to join the new math club. After school they signed up and became members. They wrote about it on the chalkboard using set notation: P = {Kyesha, Angie and Eduardo} When Angie’s mother came to pick her up, she looked at the chalkboard and asked: What does that mean? […]
