1 Mathematics for Computer Science MIT 6.042J/18.062J Sets & Functions What is a Set? Informally: set is a collection of mathematical objects, with the collection treated as a single mathematical object. (This is circular of course: what s a collection?) lec 2F.1 lec 2F.2 Some sets real numbers, R complex numbers, C integers, Z empty set, set of all subsets of integers, pow(z) the power set Some sets {7, lbert R., π/2, T} set with 4 elements: two numbers, a string, and a oolean. Same as {T, lbert R., 7, π/2} -- order doesn t matter lec 2F.3 lec 2F.4 Membership x is a member of : x π/2 {7, lbert R., π/2, T} π/3 {7, lbert R., π/2, T} 14/2 {7, lbert R., π/2, T} Synonyms for Membership x x is an element of x is in Examples: 7 Z, 2/3 Z, Z pow(r) lec 2F.5 lec 2F.6 1
2 In or Not In n element is in or not in a set: {7, π/2, 7} is same as {7, π/2} (No notion of being in the set more than once) Subset ( ) is a subset of is contained in Every element of is also an element of : x [x IMPLIES x ] lec 2F.7 lec 2F.8 examples: Subset Z R, R C, {3} {5,7,3}, every set everything def: x [x IMPLIES x ] false true lec 2F.9 lec 2F.10 New sets from old union Venn Diagram for 2 Sets lec 2F.14 lec 2F.15 2
3 intersection set difference lec 2F.16 lec 2F.17 set-theoretic equality set-theoretic equality ( C) = ( ) ( C) proof: Show these have the same elements, namely, x Left Hand Set iff x RHS for all x. ( C) = ( ) ( C) proof uses fact from last time: P OR (Q ND R) equiv (P OR Q) ND (P OR R) lec 2F.18 lec 2F.19 set-theoretic equality set-theoretic equality ( C) = ( ) ( C) proof: x ( C) x OR x ( C) iff (def of ) iff x OR (x ND x C) (def ) iff (x OR x ) ND (x OR x C) (by the equivalence) proof: (x OR x )ND(x OR x C) iff (x )ND(x C) (def ) iff x ( ) ( C) (def ).
