John Venn, was an English mathematician, logician and philosopher

noted for introducing the Venn diagrams, which are used in logic, set
theory, probability, statistics, and computer science.

UNION OF SETS
 A set that contains all the elements both
in A and in B.
 Represented by the symbol ∪ .
Read as: A ∪ B (A union B) or
B ∪ A (B union A)

INTERSECTION OF SETS
 A set of elements that are contained both in A
and B.
