What to Focus On

  • A set is a collection of well-defined objects.
  • Objects in a set are called elements or members.
  • x ∈ A means x belongs to set A.
  • Roster form lists all elements directly.
  • Set-builder form uses a rule or condition.
  • The order of elements in a set is not important.
  • Finite sets have limited elements.
  • Infinite sets are not finite.
  • Singleton sets have exactly one element.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any collection of things is a set, even if it is not clearly defined.

The symbols for belongs to and does not belong to can be used the same way.

The empty set means a set containing 0, or a set containing ∅.
