    This document provides examples and exercises related to sets in mathematics. It defines what a set is, how sets can be defined using roster or set-builder notation, and symbols used for sets. Examples show how to write the set of vowels in roster and set-builder notation. Exercises have students identify if descriptions represent sets, write sets in different notations, and find the cardinality (number of elements) of given sets.

    Activity Title : SETS
    Mathematicians place objects with similar properties in groups called sets. A set is a list or
    collection of well-defined objects or ideas. The objects in a set are called the elements or members of the
    set.
    EXAMPLE: Which of the following collections are sets?
    a) the past presidents of a country
    b) good players who have played for the national team
    SOLUTION: The first collection is a set but the second one is not since we are not given the criteria
    whether the player is good or not.

    Sets can be defined either of the following ways: (1) a verbal description, (2) the roster method, a
    listing of the members separated by commas, with braces { } used to enclose the list of elements and (3)
    the rule method or set-builder notation.
    EXAMPLE: Write “the set of vowels in the alphabet" in roster and set-builder notation.
    SOLUTION: Roster Method: {a, e, i, o, u}
    Set-builder Notation: {x/x is a vowel in the alphabet} (This set-builder notation is read as " The set
    of all x's such that x is a vowel in the alphabet.")
    Sets are usually denoted by capital letters such as A, B, C and so on. The symbols " " and " "
    are used to indicate that an object is or is not an element of a set respectively. For example, if S
    represents the set of all flowers, then rose S and mango S.
    Universal set or universe is the set that comprises all elements being considered in a particular
    discussion.
    A set without elements is called an empty set or null set and is denoted by { } or the symbol ø.
    The cardinality of sets refers to the number of elements in a given set.
    EXERCISES:
    A. Write S if the statement describes a set and NS if not.
    ____ 1. Current employees of Island City Mall.
    ____ 2. Interesting books published since 1998.
    ____ 3. The good-looking men who have played for the national basketball team.
    ____ 4. The math teachers of Bohol Island State University.
    B. Write the following in rule method or set-builder notation.
    1. {5, 10, 15, 20}

    2. the positive integers greater than 6

    C. Write the following in roster method.


    1. the five sense organs of the body

    2. {x/x is an integer, 5< x <12}

    D. Find the cardinality of the following sets.


    1. { 2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
    2. the positive integers less than 10 but more than 4
