TO BE COVERED
• Understanding Sets & Venn Diagrams
• 2 Set Venn Diagram Problems
• Set 1
Sets
o A set is a collection of well defined objects called elements.
o Commonly used mathematical sets
N : the set of all natural numbers
Z : the set of all integers
Q : the set of all rational numbers
R : the set of real numbers
Z+ : the set of positive integers
Q+ : the set of positive rational numbers, and
R+ : the set of positive real numbers.
Venn Diagrams
o A Venn Diagram is a representation of the relationship between sets.
