About Lesson
Venn diagrams are limited to two or three sets.
The following set of notation will be used:
• n(A) Number of elements in set A
• ∈ ‘… is an element of …’
• ∉ ‘… is not an element of …’
• A′ Complement of set A
• ∅ The empty set
• Universal set
• A ⊆ B A is a subset of B
• A ⊈ B A is not a subset of B
• A ∪ B Union of A and B
• A ∩ B Intersection of A and B.
Example definition of sets:
A = {x: x is a natural number}
B = {(x, y): y = mx + c}
C = {x: a ⩽ x ⩽ b}
D = {a, b, c, …}.
