Set Notation and Operations

What Is a Set?

A set is a collection of distinct objects called elements.

Examples:

  • $A = \{1, 2, 3, 4\}$
  • $B = \{3, 4, 5, 6\}$

Set Operations

OperationSymbolMeaningExample
Union$A \cup B$All elements in A or B$\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$
Intersection$A \cap B$Elements in both A and B$\{3, 4\}$
Complement$A'$Elements NOT in ADepends on universal set
Difference$A - B$Elements in A but not B$\{1, 2\}$
📌 Quick Memory

U = Union means "combine everything" (add)
I = Intersection means "in common" (overlap)
