Discovering the Magic of Sets
Learn how sets can help solve problems in a wide variety of fields, from mathematics to computer science, and more!
What are Sets?
Grouping Objects Together
Sets are collections of unique objects, and can be used to group things together.
Definition and Notation
Definition and Notation of Sets, and mathematical formulas used to define sets.
Types of Sets
Different Types of Sets - Finite, Infinite, Empty and Universal Sets.
Set Operations
Union
Combines all elements in two or more sets, without duplicates. Notation: A ∪ B.
Intersection
Returns all elements that are in both sets. Notation: A ∩ B.
Complement
Returns all elements that are in one set and not in another. Notation: A - B.
Examples of Set Problems
Probability Problems
Sets are used to solve probability problems, such as flipping a coin or rolling a dice.
Logic Problems
Sets are used to define logical operators such as AND, OR, and NOT.
Computer Science
Sets are used to manipulate data structures, perform searches, and more.
Applications of Sets
1
Business
Sets can help a company group customers for targeted marketing and analyze customer interactions.
2
Engineering
Sets can be used to analyze complex systems and calculate outcomes.
3
Biology
Sets are used to analyze genetic information and research diseases.
Set Theory and Philosophy
Venn-Diagrams
The use of Venn-Diagrams and other graphical representation of sets, in the field of philosophy.
Set Theory
The importance of Set Theory in mathematical literature, philosophical discourse and its practical applications.
Abstract Concepts and Practices
