INTRODUCTION TO
SET
 Universal Set  Empty/Null Set  { } or
U ∅
 It is the set of all elements  It is a set which does not
under consideration in contains any element.
each discussion. Examples:
Examples: • A = {x|x is a month containing 32
• Set of real numbers days}
• All students in ICCS • Set of odd numbers divisible by 2
Finite and Infinite Sets
 A set which is empty or consist of a definite numbers
of elements is called FINITE otherwise; the set is
called INFINITE.
Examples:
Set of days in a week  Finite Set NOTE: Empty/Null Set is
A = {10, 20, 30, 40, … 100}  Finite Set an example of FINITE
N = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …}  Infinite Set SET.
Set R is the set of points in a line Infinite Set
Set of odd numbers which are divisible by 2  Finite Set
 Equal Set  = Equivalent Set  ≈

Two sets are equal if Two sets are equivalent

they have the same if they have same
elements. number of elements.
Examples: Examples:
• {a, e, o} = {e, o, a} • {a, b, c, d} ≈ {1, 2, 3, 4}
• {2, 4, 6, 8} = {8, 2, 6, • X = {∆, ◊, } ≈ Y= {pie, lie
4} die}
Note: All equal sets are
equivalent sets.
 Cardinality of Set
DENOTION: n(A) or
 The number of elements in each set.
Examples:
Set Q is the set of M = {triangles
colors in a
with 4 sides}
rainbow.
n(Q) = 7 n(M) = 0
B = {2, 4, 6, 8, Note: Cardinality of an
…}= ∞
n(B) empty set is zero.
n(D) = 6

EXERCISE 2B Answer the following questions.
Consider these sets.
A = {5, 3, 1} D = {7, 2} G = {3, 4}
B = {a, b, c} E = { } H=∅
C = {3, 1, 5}F = {red, blue, pink}

• Which of the set/s is/are equal to set A?

Answer: Sets A and B; Sets E and H

• Which of the set/s is/are equivalent to set A?

Answer: Sets A and C; Sets A and C; Sets A and F; Sets B and F; Sets D and
G
• Name the sets that are equivalent but not equal.
Answer: Sets A and C; Sets A and F; Sets B and F; Sets D and
G
Values
Priorities must constantly be made clear, and one
to must be well-organized to complete tasks in the
Ponde correct sequence. This is a crucial resource for
achieving everything in life. Priorities must first be
r defined after one has determined what must be done.
We will never have enough time to complete all our
goals. Knowing the priorities of your tasks will help
you complete them in the most efficient sequence
possible within the constraints of the time you have
