Set Theory
*Make sure you leave a few empty line under each word & definition to
provide examples and/or illustrations

Vocabulary
A set is any well defined collection of objects.

The elements of a set are the objects in a set.

Subsets consists of elements from the given set.

Empty set/Null set is the set that contains no elements.

Universal set is the set of all possible elements.


Ways of Describing Sets
List the elements

A= 1,2,3,4,5,6
Give a verbal description
A is the set of all integers from 1 to 6,
inclusive
Give a mathematical inclusion rule

A=Integers x 1 x 6
Some Special Sets
The Null Set or Empty Set. This is a set with no
elements, often symbolized by

or {}
The Universal Set. This is the set of all elements
currently under consideration, and is often
symbolized by
U
Universal Sets
The universal set is the set of all things
pertinent to a given discussion
and is designated by the symbol U
Example:
U = {all students at Brandeis}
Some Subsets:
A = {all Computer Technology students}
B = {freshmen students}
C = {sophomore students}
What?!?
Find the Subsets
What are all the subsets of {3, 4, 5}

{} or

{3}, {4}, {5}

{3,4}, {3,5}, {4,5}

{3,4,5}

sets and their elements

Set Definition

Set Complement

~A or
A
A complement, or not A is the set of all
elements not in A.

What is the complement of set A?


More Practice:
U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} is the universal set and
A = {2, 3}. What is A?

U = {a, b} is the universal set and


T = {a}. What is T?

U = {+, -, x, , =} is the universal set and


A = {, =}. What is A?

Here is another one

What is the A?
A moment to Breath
The moment is over
Combining Sets Set Union
A B
A union B is the set of all elements that
are in A, or B, or both.

This is similar to the logical or operator.


Combining Sets Set
Intersection

A B
A intersect B is the set of all elements that
are in both A and B.
This is similar to the logical and
Venn Diagrams
Venn Diagrams use topological areas to
stand for sets. Ive done this one for you.

Product?!?
Given set D and F, find D x F
D = {1, 3, 5}, F = {0, 2}

Given set R and S, find R x S


R = {Bob, Rose, Carlos}, S = {Sheila}

from the SET THEORY topic (Complement, Union, Intersection,
Product).
Use a self-created example for each concept.
Your audience - a group of elementary students who learn better
when the teacher utilizes images/drawings.
Be creative!!! Make sure your work makes sense, you
might have to present it!
