What to Focus On

  • A set is a well-defined collection of distinct objects.
  • Objects in a set are called elements or members.
  • Sets are written with curly brackets { }.

  • Description method uses a sentence to define the set.
  • Roster method lists all elements.
  • Set-builder method uses a rule or condition.

  • Finite sets have countable elements.
  • Infinite sets go on forever.
  • Empty set has no elements: {} or ∅.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any collection of things is a set.

Order of elements in a set matters.
