Aim: How do we deal with chaos? Do Now: How many of you drive yourself to school? How many of you are driven to school? How many of you take the bus to school? How many of you walk to school? How many of you get to school by other means? Aim: Set Notation Course: Math Literacy Terminology of sets Sets deal with sorting of objects into similar groupings, allowing us to order and structure the world. Our minds cannot find order and meaning without creating collections. •A set is a collection of objects whose contents can be clearly determined. •Objects in sets are called members or elements. ex. set of days of week whose elements include Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Aim: Set Notation Course: Math Literacy Terminology of sets Three methods commonly used to designate a set. word description The set of the days of the week are the elements Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. roster method W = {Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday} order not important only brackets and commas Aim: Set Notation Course: Math Literacy Terminology of sets Three methods commonly used to designate a set. set builder notation W = {x | x is a day of the week} Set of W is the set of all elements x such that “Set W is the set of all elements x such that x is a day of the week.” Aim: Set Notation Course: Math Literacy Model Problem Express set A = {x | x is a month that begins with the letter M} using the roster method. A = {March, May} Express set A = {x | x is a month that begins with the letter R} using the roster method. A = { } or Empty Set – also called the null set, is the set that contains no elements. Aim: Set Notation Note: {} is a set Course: Math Literacy containing the element Terminology of sets well defined – a set must be well defined, meaning the contents are clearly determined well defined ex. the collection of actors who have won Academy Awards is a set. not well defined ex. the collection of actors great actors. subject to interpretation Aim: Set Notation Course: Math Literacy Terminology of sets The symbol is used to indicate that an object is an element of a set. It is used to replace the words, “is an element of.” r {a, b, c, . . . , z} ellipsis elements of set continue in same manner up to and including the z. The symbol is used to indicate that an object is not an element of a set. It is used to replace the words, “is not an element of.” 7 {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} Aim: Set Notation Course: Math Literacy Model Problem True or False? 8 {1, 2, 3, . . . , 10} r {a, b, c, z} T T {Monday} {x | x is a day of the week} T Aim: Set Notation Course: Math Literacy Terminology of sets N = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, . . .} is the set of Natural Numbers. Express the following sets using the roster method. Set A is the set of natural numbers less than 5. A = {1, 2, 3, 4} B is the set of natural numbers greater than or equal to 25. A = {25, 26, 27, 28, . . .} E = {x|x N and x is even} E = {2, 4, 6, 8, . . .} F = {x|x N and x is between 6 and 10} Course: Math Literacy Aim: Set Notation F = {7, 8, 9} Terminology of sets Cardinal Number – the number of elements in a set. Also called the cardinality of the set. The cardinal number of set, represented by n(A), is the number of distinct elements is set A. The symbol n(A) is read “n of A.” ex. Z = {a, e, i, o, u} set Z has a cardinality of 5 or n(Z) = 5 Find the cardinal number of the following sets. A = {7, 9, 11, 13} n(A) = 4 B = {0} n(B) = 1 C = {13, 14, 15, . . . , 22, 23} Aim: Set Notation n(C) = 11 n() = 0 Course: Math Literacy Terminology of sets Finite Set – if n(A) = 0 or n(A) is a natural number. A set that is not finite is called an infinite set. {3, 6, 9, 12, . . . } is an infinite set and has no cardinality Equal Sets – contain exactly the same elements, regardless of order or possible repetition of elements. Equality of sets is symbolized as A = B A = {w, x, y, z} and B = {z, y, x, w} A=B n(A) = n(B) Aim: Set Notation Course: Math Literacy Terminology of sets Equivalent Sets – contain the same number of elements. Cardinalities are equal: n(A) = n(B) Equal, equivalent, or both? A = {The Graduate, The Godfather, Titanic} B = {Hoffman, Brando, DiCaprio} Not equal – do not contain exactly the same elements Equivalent – each contains three elements: n(A) = n(B) note: repeating elements in a set do not add new elements to the set. Math Literacy A = {1, 1, 2,Aim:2,Set3}Notation and B = {1, 2, 3}; A =Course: B; n(A) = n(B) Terminology of sets Subsets – A is a subset of set B, expressed as A B if every element of set A is also an element of set B. means ‘is not a subset’ Let A = {x|x is a planet in the Earth’s solar system. B = {Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter} C = {1 Ceres} BA CA 1 Ceres is the solar system’s largest asteroid. It is 974 km in Aim: diameter 25% of the Course: Math Literacy Set Notation and contains about mass of all the asteroids combined. Relationships between 2 Sets Proper Subset – Set A is a proper subset of set B, expressed as A B, if set A is a subset of set B and sets A and B are not equal (A B) A B Study Tip A is a subset of B a<b a is less than or equal to b A B a<b A is a proper subset of B a is less than b but not equal to b Aim: Set Notation Course: Math Literacy Model Problems Because every twentieth century US president was male, this means that the set of twentieth century US presidents is a subset of males. {x | x is a 20th century US President} {x | x is a male Write or in each blank A = {1, 3, 5, 7} B B = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11} A ____ A = {set of music written in 20th century} B B = {set of jazz music} A ____ Aim: Set Notation Course: Math Literacy Number of Subsets 1. For any set B, B. 2. For any set B other than the empty set, B.

The number of subsets of a set with n elements is 2 Course: Math Literacy Aim: Set Notation The number of proper subsets of a set is 2n – 1. Model Problem You recently purchase three books: {The Color Purple, Hannibal, The Royals} You are deciding which books, if any to take on vacation. You have enough room to pack up to three books, but may fewern or not at all. The number of subsets of atake set with elements is 2n. a. Find the number of subsets of the given set. n = 3; 23 = 8 b. List all the subsets. c. How many of the subsets are proper subsets? The number of proper subsets of a set is 2n – 1.
