REVIEW
1. Who introduced the concept of set ?
Georg Cantor
2. What is set?
Set is a collection of definite and distinguishable objects selected by
the means of certain rules or description.
1. Descriptive form
Z
4. What is the symbol for set of odd numbers?
O
5. What is the symbol for set of prime numbers?
P
6. What kind of set represents this symbol " E"?
Examples:
A= |{1, 3, 5,7}|
Number of elements in set A is 4.
B= |{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …}|
Number of elements in set B is infinite.
TYPES OF SET
Singleton set
1
It is a set contains only one element.
Example: A= {1}
B= {0}
C= {2}
Finite set
2
A set consisting of definite number of elements
in which number element is finite.
Example:
A= {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
B= {2, 4, 16, 25, 36, 49}
C={1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24}
Infinite set
3
A set with infinite number of elements.
Example:
A= {negative integers}
A= {-1,-2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7 …}
4 be equal sets.
Example1: A={1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
B= {9, 7, 5, 3, 1}
C= {1, 5, 9, 3, 7}
A=B=C
2. X= {1, 2, 3}
Y = {1, 3, 5,}
X ≠ Y
3. S = {1, 1, 2}
T= {1, 2}
S=T
Equivalent set
Two sets A and B are said to be equivalent if their
cardinal number is same.
Example: A = {1, 2, 3}
B = {p, q, r}
Therefore, A ↔ B.
F = {1, 3, 5, 7}
G = {2, 4, 6, 8}
Therefore, F ↔ G
Null set/ Empty set
It is a set with no element.
Example: A= { }
Subset
A set S is a subset of another set T if every element of S
is an element of T. it is written as (read as ‘S is a
7 subset of T’)
Example: A=
B=
S=
T=
