Two sets A and B are said to be equal(=) if they have the same elements. The elements may not be in the same order. If an element appears n times in one set, then it must also appear n times in the other set. Mathematically, two sets A and B are equal if For each...

A set that has a definite number of elements is called a finite set else it is called an Infinite set. ⇒ A null set is a finite set. ⇒ For finite set S, n(S) is a finite number. ⇒ The standard mathematical sets like N, Z, R, etc. are all...

A set that has exactly one member is called a singleton set. { 1 } , { ‘a’ } , { x3 | x ∈ N , 2 < x < 3 } are all singleton sets.

A set that does not have any members is called an empty set. ⇒ Such sets are represented as {} or using the symbol ∅ (derived from Φ) which has been explicitly developed to designate an empty set. ⇒ Sometimes { ∅ } is also...

The number of elements in a set is called cardinality. The cardinality of a set A is generally represented by |A| or n(A) meaning the number of elements in set A. Examples: The cardinality of the set { 1, 45, 2, 34 } is 4. The cardinality of...
