Introduction to Set Notations

Introduction to Set Notations

Secondary 4
  • Universal set \(\xi\) is the set of all elements under consideration.

  • \(\in\) means 'is an element of'.

  • \(\notin\) means 'is not an element of'.

  • Listing all elements in set notation, e.g. \(A=\{1,3,4,5\}\).

  • \(n(A)\) means the number of the elements in the set \(A\).

  • Equal sets contain exactly the same elements. E.g. \(A=\{1,3,4,5\}\), \(B=\{5,3,4,1\}\), thus \(A=B\) and \(\mathrm{n}(A)=\mathrm{n}(B)\).

  • The empty or null set is the set containing no element. E.g. \(A=\{\space\}\) or \(A=\varnothing\).
