Fundamentals: Complement

The document discusses the algebra of sets, which defines the properties and laws of sets, set-theoretic operations like union and intersection, and relations like equality and inclusion. Any collection of sets closed under these operations forms a Boolean algebra, with union as the join operator, intersection as the meet operator, and complement as the complement operator. The algebra of sets is analogous to arithmetic and defines associative and commutative properties for union and intersection, as well as relations like subset that parallel properties in arithmetic.

The 

algebra of sets defines the properties and laws of sets, the set-theoretic operations
of union, intersection, and complementation and the relations of set equality and setinclusion. It also
provides systematic procedures for evaluating expressions, and performing calculations, involving
these operations and relations.

Any set of sets closed under the set-theoretic operations forms a Boolean algebra with the join
operator being union, the meet operator being intersection, and the complement operator being set
complement.

Fundamentals[edit]
The algebra of sets is the set-theoretic analogue of the algebra of numbers. Just as
arithmetic addition and multiplication are associative and commutative, so are set union and
intersection; just as the arithmetic relation "less than or equal"
is reflexive, antisymmetric and transitive, so is the set relation of "subset".

It is the algebra of the set-theoretic operations of union, intersection and complementation, and the
relations of equality and inclusion. For a basic introduction to sets see the article on sets, for a fuller
account see naive set theory, and for a full rigorous axiomatic treatment see axiomatic set theory.
