Sets and Basic Notations A set is a collection of objects, and the objects in a set are called the elements of the set. Ex. {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} A pair of braces, { }, is used with words or symbols to describe a set. In the set builder notation, the criteria for deciding whether an object belongs to a set are given. Ex. {x|x is greater than 5} where “|” is read as “such that.” Two sets A and B are said to be equal, written A = B, if and only if A and B have identical elements. Ex. {4, 5, 6} = {6, 4, 5} The union of two sets A and B, denoted by A B and read “A union B,” is the set of all elements that are in A or in B or in both A and B. The intersection of A and B, denoted by A B and read “A intersection B,” is the set of all elements that are in both A and B. An empty set is a set that contains no elements and is denoted by . Two sets that have no elements in common are called disjoint sets. If every element of a set S is also an element of a set T, then S is a subset of T, written S T.
The Set of Real Numbers
A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no natural number factors other than itself and 1. The number “2” is the only prime number that is even. “0” and “1” are not prime numbers. A natural number greater than 1 that is not a prime number is a composite number. Factoring Polynomials
