Exercise 1.1.E. 1. Prove Theorem 1 (show that x is in the left-hand set iff it is in the right-hand set). For example, for (d), x ∈ (A ∪ B) ∩ C [x ∈ (A ∪ B) and x ∈ C] [(x ∈ A or x ∈ B), and x ∈ C] [(x ∈ A, x ∈ C) or (x ∈ B, x ∈ C)].
Theorem 1.1.1 1.1. 1. Two sets A A and B B are equal if and only if A ⊂ B A ⊂ B and B ⊂ A B ⊂ A. If A ⊂ B A ⊂ B and A A does not equal B B, we say that A A is a proper subset of B B, and write A ⊊ B A ⊊ B. The set θ = {x: x ≠ x} θ = {x: x ≠ x} is called the empty set. This set clearly has no elements.
C, the set of complex numbers. Definition: Two sets are equal if and only if they have the same elements. Therefore, if A and B are sets, then A and B are equal if and only if ∀x(x ∈ A ↔ x ∈ B). We write A = B if A and B are equal sets. EXAMPLE 4: The sets {1, 3, 5} and {3, 5, 1} are equal, because they have the same elements.

- Sets Definition. In mathematics, a set is defined as a well-defined collection of objects. Sets are named and represented using capital letters. In the set theory, the elements that a set comprises can be any kind of thing: people, letters of the alphabet, numbers, shapes, variables, etc.
- Representation of Sets in Set Theory. There are different set notations used for the representation of sets in set theory. They differ in the way in which the elements are listed.
- Sets Symbols. Set symbols are used to define the elements of a given set. The following table shows the set theory symbols and their meaning. Symbols. Meaning.
- Types of Sets. There are different types of sets in set theory. Some of these are singleton, finite, infinite, empty, etc. Singleton Sets. A set that has only one element is called a singleton set or also called a unit set.
For us, a set will simply be an unordered collection of objects. Two examples: we could consider the set of all actors who have played The Doctor on Doctor Who, or the set of natural numbers between 1 and 10 inclusive. In the first case, Tom Baker is an element (or member) of the set, while Idris Elba, among many others, is not an element of ...
Sets may be thought of as a mathematical way to represent collections or groups of objects. The concept of sets is an essential foundation for various other topics in mathematics. This series of lessons cover the essential concepts of math set theory - the basic ways of describing sets, use of set notation, finite sets, infinite sets, empty ...

Jan 24, 2021 · Suppose set A = {1,3,5} and set B = {5,5,3,3,1,1}. Sets A and B are equal because they contain the exact same elements, namely 1, 3, and 5. Remember, order and multiplicity of elements don’t matter. Let’s look at another example. Determine if the sets A and B are equal.
