What to Focus On
- A set is a well-defined collection of objects.
- ∈ means belongs to; ∉ means does not belong to.
- Roster form lists elements; set-builder form states the property.
- Empty set has no elements.
- Empty set is denoted by φ or { }.
- Finite sets have a definite number of elements.
- Two sets are equal if they have exactly the same elements.
- A ⊂ B means every element of A is in B.
- Every set is a subset of itself.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
An element and a subset mean the same thing.
The empty set is not a subset of any set because it has no elements.
If A ∈ B and B ⊂ C, then A ⊂ C must be true.
Memory Tips
A set is a well-defined collection of objects
A collection that is not well-defined is not a set
Roster form means listing elements, order does not matter
Repeated elements do not change a set
