SET THEORY
At the end of May 1884 Cantor had the first recorded attack of
depression. He recovered after a few weeks.
Cantor retired in 1913 and spent his final years ill with little food
because of the war conditions in Germany. In June 1917 he entered
a sanatorium for the last time
He died of a heart attack the 6th of January 2016
SET THEORY
Set theory is the
branch of
mathematical logic
that studies sets.
Set theory begins with
the relation between an
objectoand a setA.
If o is a member (or
element) of A, write:
o A.

INTERSECTIONS
Intersection of the
sets A and B, denoted
A B, is the set of all
objects that are
members of both A
and B
If we look at the
picture, whe can see
that, for example, the
intersection between
A (Soccer) and B
(Tennis) is casey and
drew.
SET DIFFERENCES
Set differences of
U and A, denoted
U \ A, is the set of
all members of U
that are not
members of A.
So, taking the same
picture, it will be written as:
SUBSET RELATION
A relationbetween
two sets is the subset
relation, also
calledset inclusion. If
all the members of
setAare also
members of setB,
thenAis asubsetofB,
denotedAB*
*This is an illustrative photo. Its not wellrepresented. The binary relation between
two sets is more precise and only used on
other concepts.
