Key Definition

A set is a collection of distinct objects, considered as an object in its own right. Sets are denoted by $\{ \text{elements} \}$.

Important Notes

Sets can contain numbers, characters, or even other sets.
The order of elements in a set does not matter.
Set notation uses braces $\{\}$.
The roster method lists all elements in a set.
The set-builder method defines a set with a property.

Mathematical Notation

$\{\}$ denotes a set

$\in$ indicates an element belongs to a set

$\notin$ indicates an element does not belong to a set

$\subset$ means subset

$\cup$ represents union of sets

$\cap$ represents intersection of sets

Remember to use proper notation when solving problems

Why It Works

Sets provide a way to group elements and analyze collections in mathematics, particularly in statistics and probability.

Remember

Sets are fundamental in mathematics and help in organizing and analyzing data.
