Document Summary
University of waterloo - fall 2014 - math 135. These objects are called the elements of the set. 1. 2 example. (i) {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8} is a set containing six elements. All these elements are numbers. (ii) how many di erent sets can you construct using the symbols { , } , , , 1 and 2 ? (iii) we can de ne a set by specifying a rule its elements must satisfy. What is the set of all positive odd integers smaller than 11? (iv) we can nest sets as elements of other sets. {1, 2,{1, 4}, 5,{1, 2, 3}} is a set whose elements are numbers and sets. (v) answer (ii) again. (vi) you just need to make sure the number of { is equal to the number of } . If s is a set, we use |s| to denote the number of elements of s.
