Definition of Terms
• Finite and Infinite set. Elements are possibly enumerated are
finite set. Otherwise, infinite set.
• Null/empty set. A set is empty if does not contain any
element. Denoted by { } or ∅.
• Universal set. A set containing all elements, denoted by U.
THE LANGUAGE OF SETS
• Is {0} = 0?
• Is {∅} = ∅
• How many elements of the given set?
A = {0,{0}, {0,0}}
THE LANGUAGE OF SETS
• Set Relations

b. Equivalent set
c. Disjoint set
d. Overlapping set
e. Subset
THE LANGUAGE OF SETS
• Set Operations

What is a RELATION?
THE LANGUAGE OF RELATIONS AND FUNCTIONS
A ℜ B
x y
1. Find Z x Y.
2. Which ordered pair (x,y) are in ℜ ?
3. What are the domain and co-domain of ℜ ?
THE LANGUAGE OF RELATIONS AND FUNCTIONS
Solution:
1. Z x Y = (1,1), (1,2), (2,1), (2,2), (3,1), (3,2).
1−1
2. (1,1) ∈ ℜ since = 0 is an integer.
3
1−2 −1
(1,2) ∉ ℜ since = is not an integer.

THE LANGUAGE OF RELATIONS AND FUNCTIONS
Also,
(2,2) ∈ ℜ but (2,1), (3,1) and (3,2) ∉ ℜ .
Hence, (1,1) and (2,2) ∈ ℜ.
3. The domain of ℜ is {1,2} and the co-
domain is {1,2}.
