ARE YOU
READY ?
LET'S GET STARTED!
WELL-DEFINED
Well-defined means that it is
SETS
possible to determine whether an
object belongs to a given set. A set
must be well-defined to avoid
ambiguity about whether or not an
object belongs to the set.
AN EXAMPLE OF WELL-DEFINED
SET
THE SET OF RAINBOW
COLORS

DEFINED SET

FINITE AND INFINITE SETS
FINITE SET - IT CONTAINS EXACT NUMBER OR
COUNTABLE NUMBER OF ELEMENTS.

INFINITE SET – IT CONTAINS ELEMENTS THAT HAS

NO END. THE ELLIPSIS OR THE 3 DOTS means infinite or
it goes on forever.

BODY

SET
THE SET OF WHOLE NUMBERS
 AN EXAMPLE OF AN EQUAL SET
A = { 1, 4, 3 }
B = { 3, 1, 4}
SET A AND SET B ARE EQUAL BECAUSE

ELEMENTS
UNIVERSAL AND NULL
SETS
UNIVERSAL SET – IT IS THE TOTALITY OF ELEMENTS
UNDER CONSIDERATION AND IS usually represented by
U symbol.
A SET WHICH CONTAINS NO ELEMENT IS CALLED AN
EMPTY OR NULL SET AND denoted by {} or symbol.
 AN EXAMPLE OF UNIVERSAL SET
U = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 }
A = { 1, 2, 3 }
B = { 2, 4, 6 }
SET U IS THE UNIVERSAL SET BECAUSE
