3.1 Definition of a Group
... especially the quantifiers (“for all”, “for each”, “there exists”), which must be stated in exactly the right order. From one point of view, the axioms for a group give us just what we need to work with equations involving the operation in the group. For example, one of the rules you are used to sta ...

... Cardinality: Formal Definition • For any two (possibly infinite) sets A and B, we say that A and B have the same cardinality (written |A |A|=| |=|B B |) iff there exists a bijection (bijective function) from A to B. • When A and B are finite, it is easy to see that such a function exists iff A and B ...

Chapter 3 Finite and infinite sets
... But the idea is clear without worrying about how the definition goes.) We say that A and B can be matched if there is a matching between them. Other terms used for a matching include bijection and one-to-one correspondence. Now we can say precisely what we mean by the size, or ‘cardinality’ of a set ...

Combinatorics
... We then define subsets {k} that contain only k elements from some given set - for example eight letters from the set {a, b, c, ..., f}, a certain number n of atoms from a set of {N} atoms - and then ask what kind of combinations, variations, or relations are possible between {N} and {k}. Note that w ...

If two sums ~k_,Ekxk and Zx=1E1 . xk are both in I, neither of the corresponding subsets can contain the other, for otherwise their difference would clearly be not less th ...
