SET NOTATION
The notation of set is {

}.

Examples.
1. A is the set of even numbers less than 12 .
A = { 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 10 }
2. B = { violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow , orange , red }
B is ..
3. We can also use Venn Diagram to represent a set .

RELATION
A relation from set A to set B is the linking (or pairing) of the elements of set A to the
elements of set B .
1.1 Represent a relation
A relation between two sets can be represented by :(a) arrow diagram
(b) ordered pairs
(c) graphs
Example.
A relation from set A = { - 3 , 1 , 2 , 3 ) to set B = { 1 , 4 , 9 } is given by power of 2

4.3 The condition for the existence of an inverse function

There are two types of relation that are considered as a functions that is
(i)
one to one
(ii)
many to one
The reverse mapping for one to one relation is still one to one but the reverse
mapping for many to one relation is not a function because it is one to many relation.
