Set theory is the mathematical theory capable of grouping elements together.

In this way, the elements (which can be anything: numbers, people, fruits) are indicated by a
lowercase letter and defined as one of the components of the set.

Example: element “a” or person “x”

Thus, while the elements of the set are indicated by the lowercase letter, the sets are represented by
the uppercase letters and, normally, inside braces ({ }).

Also, elements are separated by commas or semicolons, for example:

A = {a,e,i,o,u}
Euler-Venn diagram

In the Euler-Venn Diagram (Venn Diagram) model, the sets are represented graphically:

Set theory
Relation of Relevance

The membership relation is a very important concept in "Set Theory".

It indicates whether the element belongs (e) or does not belong (ɇ) to the given set, for example:

D = {w,x,y,z}

Soon,

w and D (w belongs to the set D)

j ɇ D (j does not belong to the set D)
Inclusion Ratio

The inclusion relation indicates whether such a set is contained (C), is not contained (Ȼ) or if one
set contains the other (Ɔ), for example:

A = {a,e,i,o,u}
B = {a,e,i,o,u,m,n,o}
C = {p,q,r,s,t}

Soon,

A C B (A is contained in B, that is, all elements of A are in B)

C Ȼ B (C is not contained in B, as the elements of the sets are different)
B Ɔ A (B contains A, hence the elements of A are in B)
