Set Notation (With - Answers)

The document provides examples of set notation and operations involving unions, intersections, complements and differences of sets. It defines several universal and subset sets using intervals of integers or descriptions of students and their course selections. It then lists the results of applying various set operations to these defined sets and asks for Venn diagrams illustrating the relationships between subsets.
