Four basic concept of mathematics
1. Set
2. Relation
3. Function
Universal set
● Set contains all the elements considered in
empty set or null set a particular situation ande denoted by U
● A set that has no element
Subset
singleton or Singleton set ● If A and B are set such that every element
● Set with only one member of A is also an element of B
Specification of set
1. List notation/roster method
2. Predicate Notation/Rule
method/set-builder notation
3. Recursive rules
Roster method
● By listing all its members, separate by
commas and enclose in braces
Proper subset
● Subset that is not equal to the original set
Union
● Operation for sets A and B in which set is
formed that consist of all elements
included in A or B, denoted by AUB
Intersection
● Set containing all elements common to
both A and B, denoted by A B
Complementation
● Operation on set that must be performed
in reference to a universal set,denoted
by A
