Introduction to Sets

Mathematics – Lesson on Sets


Presented by: Lovely Mae Wasawas
Lesson Objectives
• At the end of the discussion, the students
should be able to:
• 1. Describe well-defined sets and null sets.
• 2. Identify the elements, subsets, and
cardinality of a set.
• 3. Appreciate the importance of sets.
What is a Set?
• - A set is a collection of well-defined objects,
considered as an object in its own right.
• - Notation: Sets are typically written with curly
braces {}.
• Example: A = {1, 2, 3}
Well-defined Sets
• A set is well-defined if its elements are clearly
distinguishable.
• Example: A = {2, 4, 6}
Null Set (Empty Set)
• - A null set is a set with no elements.
• - Notation: Ø or {}
• Example: B = Ø
Elements of a Set
• - The elements (or members) of a set are the
objects contained within it.
• Example: If A = {a, b, c}, then a, b, and c are
the elements of A.
Subsets
• - A subset is a set where all elements of one
set are also elements of another set.
• - Notation: A ⊆ B means "A is a subset of B."
• Example: If A = {1, 2} and B = {1, 2, 3}, then A
⊆ B.
Proper Subsets
• - A proper subset is a subset that is not equal
to the set.
• - Notation: A ⊂ B means "A is a proper subset
of B."
• Example: If A = {1, 2} and B = {1, 2, 3}, then A
⊂ B.
Cardinality of a Set
• - The cardinality of a set is the number of
elements it contains.
• - Notation: |A| represents the cardinality of
set A.
• Example: If A = {1, 2, 3}, then |A| = 3.
Real-World Importance of Sets
• Applications:
• - Computer Science: Data storage and
management.
• - Mathematics: Organizing numbers and
symbols.
• - Logic: Classifying objects or concepts.
• - Everyday life: Grouping similar items
together (e.g., a set of fruits, a set of books).
Summary
• Key Takeaways:
• - Sets are collections of distinct objects.
• - The null set contains no elements.
• - Elements, subsets, and cardinality are key
components of sets.
• - Sets are used widely in many fields for
organizing information.
