    Sets and Types of Sets

    A set is a collection of distinct sets objects/elements which have common property . For
    example, cats, elephants, tigers and rabbits are animals. When these animals are
    considered collectivity, it's called set.

    Important Points Regarding Sets


    1. The number of elements in a set can be both finite and infinite.
    N = {2,4,6}

    N = {..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, …}

    2. The elements of a set can be in any order. Changing the order of elements
    doesn’t change anything.
    A = {1,2,3}

    This set can be also written as:

    A = {2, 1, 3}

    A = {3, 1, 2} and so on

    Example: What is the set of all vowels in english alphabet?


    V = {a, e, i, o, u}

    Types of Sets

    Empty Set
    A set which does not have and elements is known as an empty set. It is also called Null Set,
    Vacuous Set or Void Set. Empty set is denoted by ∅.

    A = {} = ∅

    Singleton Set
    If a set has only one element, it is known as a singleton set.

    A = {moon}

    Finite Set
    Set with a finite number of elements is called a finite set.

    S = {1,2,3}
    Infinite Set
    A set with an infinite number of elements is called an infinite set.
    A = {x|x is an integer} x is such that x is an integer

    B = {5, 10, 15, 20, 25, …}

    Equivalent Set
    Two set are said to be equivalent if they have the same number of elements. For
    example,

    A = {a, b, c, d,}

    B = {e, f, g, h}

    Here, set A and set B are equivalent sets because both sets have 4 elements.

    Equal Set
    Two sets are said to be equal sets if they both have exactly the same elements.

    A = {1, 2, 3, 4}

    B = {2, 4, 3, 1}

    Here, set A and set B are equal because both sets have the same elements (order of
    elements doesn’t matter).

    Joint Set
    Two sets are said to be overlapping sets if they have at least one element in
    common.

    A = {1, 2, 3, 4} A ∩B = {3, 4}

    B = {3, 4, 5} A ∪B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

    Here A and B are overlapping sets because elements 3 and 4 are common in
    both sets.

    Disjoint Set
    Two sets are said to be disjoint sets if they don't have common element/s.

    A = {1, 2, 3, 4} A∩B = {}
    B = {5, 6} A∪B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

    Here A and B are said to be disjoint sets because these two sets don't have
    any common element.

    Subset
    A set P is a subset of Q if every element of set P is also the member of set
    Q. Simply, if set P is contained in set Q, P is called subset of superset Q, It is
    denoted by P⊂Q.

    P = {1, 2, 3}

    Q = {1, 2, 4, 3, 9}

    Here, all three elements 1, 2 and 3 of set P are also members of set Q.
    Hence, P is a subset of Q.

    Power Set
    Power set of a set is defined as a set of every possible subset. “The set of all
    the subsets of a set”

    Universal Set
    Any set which is a superset of all the sets under consideration is said to be a
    universal set and either denoted by omega or S or U.

    A = {1, 2, 3}
    C = {0, 1}

    Therefore, S = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} as universal sets.
