MATH
CONTENIDO: SETS

Sets

Definition
What is a set? Well, simply put, it's a collection. First you specify a common property among "things" (this word will be defined later) and then you gather up all the "things" that have this common property.

For example, the items you wear: these would include shoes, socks, hat, shirt, pants, and so on. I'm sure you could come up with at least a hundred. This is known as a set.

Or another example would be types of fingers. This set would include index, middle, ring, and pinky.

So it is just things grouped together with a certain property in common.

Notation
There is a fairly simple notation for sets. You simply list each element, separated by a comma, and then put some curly brackets around the whole thing.

This is the notation for the two previous examples: {socks, shoes, watches, shirts, ...} {index, middle, ring, pinky} Notice how the first example has the "..." (three dots together).

The three dots

... are called an ellipsis, and mean "continue on".

So that means the first example continues on ... for infinity.

Subsets
When we define a set, if we take pieces of that set, we can form what is called a subset. So for example, we have the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. A subset of this is {1, 2, 3}. Another subset is {3, 4} or even another, {1}. However, {1, 6} is not a subset, since it contains an element (6) which is not in the parent set. In general:

A is a subset of B if and only if every element of A is in B.

So let's use this definition in some examples.

Is A a subset of B, where A = {1, 3, 4} and B = {1, 4, 3, 2}?

1 is in A, and 1 is in B as well. So far so good. 3 is in A and 3 is also in B. 4 is in A, and 4 is in B. That's all the elements of A, and every single one is in B, so we're done.

Yes, A is a subset of B

Note that 2 is in B, but 2 is not in A. But remember, that doesn't matter, we only look at the elements in A.
U nion

This is read as ' A union in A or inB or both.

B ' and is the set of all elements that are

Example
If T is the set of students who travel by train, train or bus, then P is the union of sets

students who travel by bus and P is the set of students who travel by

B is the set of

T and B.

Example
If A is the set

{ a, b, c, d } and B is the set { b, d, e, f } then:

INTERSECT This is read as ' A intersect B ' and is the set of all elements that are in both Aand B.

Example
If R is the set of students who play rugby, T is the set of students who play tennis and B is the set of students who play rugby and tennis, then B is the intersection of sets

R and T.

Example
If A is the set

{ a, b, c, d } and B is the set { b, d, e, f } then:

The main purpose of this brief introduction to set theory is to enable us to refer to various sets of numbers using the following standard notation and terminology.

SCIENCE
CONTENIDO: Cell

Cells are the Starting Point All living organisms on Earth are divided in pieces called cells. There are smaller pieces to

cells that include proteins andorganelles. There are also larger pieces called tissues andsystems. Cells are small compartments that hold all of the biological equipment necessary to keep an organism alive and successful on Earth. A main purpose of a cell is to organize. Cells hold a variety of pieces and each cell has a different set of functions. It is easier for an organism to grow and survive when cells are present. If you were only made of one cell, you would only be able to grow to a certain size. You don't find single cells that are as large as a cow. Also, if you were only one cell you couldn't have a nervous system, no muscles for movement, and using the internet would be out of the question. The trillions of cells in your body make your life possible. One Name, Many Types

There are many types of cells. In biology class, you will usually work with plant-likecells and animal-like cells. We say animal-like because an animal type of cell could be anything from a tiny microorganism to a nerve cell in your brain. Plant cells are easier to identify because they have a protective structure called a cell wall made of cellulose. Plants have the wall; animals do not. Plants also have organelles like the chloroplast(the things that make them green) or large water-filled vacuoles.

We said that there are many types of cells. Cells are unique to each type of

organism.Humans may have hundreds of types of cells. Some cells are used to carry oxygen (O2) through the blood (red blood cells) and others might be specific to the heart. If you look at very simple organisms, you will discover cells that have no defined nucleus (prokaryotes) and other cells that have hundreds of nuclei (multinucleated). The thing they all have in common is that they are compartments surrounded by some type ofmembrane.

Prokaryotic Cells - The prokaryotic cell is a simple, small cell with no nucleus. Most bacteria are prokaryotic. There are three main parts to the prokaryotic cell: 1) the outside of the cell called the cell wall 2) the flagella which is like an appendage and can help the cell to move 3) the inside of the cell called the cytoplasm. Eukaryotic Cells - these cells are a lot bigger and have a cell nucleus which houses the cell's DNA. These are the types of cells we find in plants and animals.

Parts of the Cell There are a lot of parts and functions to some cells. Here are some of the main components many cells have:

Membrane - This is the outer boundary of the cell. Sort of like the skin. It allows some substances in and keeps others out. Mitochondria - This is where the cell gets its energy. In the human body, food we have digested reacts with oxygen in the mitochondria to make energy for the cell.

Ribosomes - Ribosomes are like tiny factories that make different things the cell needs to function, like proteins. Nucleus - The nucleus is the brains of the cell. It uses chromosomes to instruct the rest of the cell what to do next. Cytoplasm - This is the stuff that fills up the rest of the cell. The other components of the cell float around in the cytoplasm. It's mostly water. Lysosomes - These guys clean up the place getting rid of waste and other unwanted substances that may get into the cell.

The machines inside the cell like the nucleus, ribosomes, and lysosomes are called organelles. Fun Facts About Cells

They were discovered by the scientist Robert Hooke. The largest known cells are ostrich eggs. They can weigh over three pounds. When many cells of the same kind are together in a group, it's call tissue. The word cell comes from the Latin word cellula, which means small room. Humans actually carry more bacteria cells than human cells. Yuck!

Colombia, country in South America, situated in the northwestern part of the

continent. Colombia is blessed with natural resources, including beautiful beaches, dramatic mountains, and lush rain forests, but it is notorious for political unrest and the violent influence of powerful drug cartels. And despite a long history of democratic government, Colombia has one of the most rigidly stratified class systems in Latin America. Colombia is the only country in South America with coasts on both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Its neighbors on the east are Venezuela and Brazil; on the south, Ecuador and Peru; and to the northwest, Panama. The capital and largest city is Bogot.

THE NATURAL REGIONS OF COLOMBIA The Natural Regions of Colombia are six natural regions comprised by primarily the Colombian Andes mountain range pertaining to the Andes, the Caribbean region pertaining to the area contiguous to the Caribbean sea, the Pacific region contiguous to the Pacific Ocean, the Insular region, comprehending islands both in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the Amazon region part of the Amazon rainforest and the Orinoqua region part of the Llanos plains mainly in the Orinoco river basin.

COLOMBIAN SYMBOLS Flag Colombia's flag was adopted in 1861. It is divided into segments, the three

Because of its natural structure Colombia enjoys of five different natural regions. They are Caribbean region located on the northernmost part of the country, Pacific region which borders with the Pacific ocean, Andean region that it is formed by Colombia's three mountain system, Orinoco region that borders with Venezuela to the west and it is mainly plain, and the Amazon region which is the southernmost part of Colombia and it is conformed by the Amazon rain forest; it borders with Brazil, Ecuador and Peru blue and the red together have the same width as the yellow one. Yellow represents the land, blue represents the ocean, and red represents the blood spilled by patriots. These colours were flown by freedom fighters when Spain ruled South America. Coat of Arms The coat of arms was introduced on the 9th of May, 1834. The coat of arms has a Swiss shape and is 6 parts wide by 8 parts high. NATIONAL BIRD* The condor (vultus gryplus). Chosen in 1834 as the emblem of liberty and sovereignty, the condor is on Colombia's national crest. Today, there are many campaigns to conserve this bird and save it from extinction

TREE The Cera Palm Tree of Quindo (Ceroxilon quindiuense) was chosen to be Colombia's National tree by scientists in the Latin American Botanical Congress in 1949 (celebrated in Bogota). Later it was officially adopted as a symbol of Colombia by law in 1961 and 1985. Flower Orquid (Catleya Trianae). Epifit plant with meaty leaves, originating in Colombia. It flourishes on the temperate Andean jungle floor COLOMBIAN BORDERS

Panama Clearly one of Colombias most important borders: Panamas role in international commerce logistics makes the border a potential smugglers heaven. It is also one of the most important geopolitical locations in the world because a safe border means a safe Panama Canal. The problem with it is that a great deal of it is jungle and in one of Colombias poorest areas, which means

that both public and private presence is minimal. Finally, since the greatest drug market is in the north, then Panama is also in constant danger of having drug trafficking through its border with Colombia. Ecuador The combination of a mountain range and jungle makes it a very difficult terrain to watch. Although it is a rather small border, it has become one of the most important ones in the fight against the illegal groups as was proven by the bombing of a FARC encampment a few kilometers into Ecuadorian territory from the border. In fact, according to Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa, this incident proved that his countrys military capabilities were rather lacking and thus recently announced the purchase of new military equipment, air fighters in particular, to be ready for anything. Although some may take this as a provocation or the beginning of an arms race, there really seems to be nothing to worry about: Ecuador is not very likely to engage in armed combat with Colombia, as the latter has better military capabilities and its capital is very far away from the border, contrary to Quitos relative proximity. It just seems to be a rallying speech from Correa. Venezuela This is by far Colombias biggest border. The Venezuelan government has recently been very helpful in ensuring border security and cooperation between Colombian and Venezuelan authorities is at its peak in a long time: Extraditions, capturing illegal armed groups members, giving blow after blow to drug trafficking.
