• Consider a group of students, Ann, Bob, Carl, and David. Let set
X = {Ann, Bob, Carl}, Y = {Bob, Ann, Carl}, and
Z = {Ann, Ann, Bob, Carl, Carl}.
• What are the elements of X, Y , and Z? How are X, Y , and Z
related?
• How many elements are in {1, {1}}?
{x | P (x)}
A × B = {(a, b) | a ∈ A and b ∈ B}
• A - domain of R.
• B - co-domain of R.
• Exercise: Let E = {1, 2, 3, 4} and F = {−2, −1, 0} and define a
relation T from E to F as follows: For all (x, y) ∈ E × F ,
(x, y) ∈ T means that (x − y)/2 is an integer. Write T as a set
of ordered pairs.
