Overview

Relations and functions describe how elements of one set are connected to elements of another set. A relation is any subset of a Cartesian product, while a function is a special relation in which every element of the starting set has exactly one image. The chapter also develops Cartesian products of

Key Concepts

For two sets A and B

For two sets A and B, the Cartesian product is A × B = {(a, b): a ∈ A and b ∈ B}. Each element is an ordered pair. For three sets A, B, and C, the pro

An ordered pair (a

An ordered pair (a, b) is equal to another ordered pair only when both corresponding elements are equal. The same idea holds for ordered triplets (a,

A relation from A to B

A relation from A to B is any subset of A × B. A relation on A is a relation from A to itself.

A function from A to B

A function from A to B is a relation in which every element of A has exactly one image in B. Every function is a relation, but not every relation is a

For a relation R

For a relation R, the domain is the set of first elements of ordered pairs in R, the range is the set of second elements, and the co-domain is the tar
