Sidebar: Set Cover Problem
A very famous and useful problem in combinatorics and CS! One of the original problems to be proven NP-Complete.
One Example: Given a “universe” U (big set with everything else in the problem inside) and a set of sets, S
U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
S = { {1, 2, 3}, {2, 5, 1}, {3, 4, 1} ,{3, 4, 5} }
What is the minimum number of sets in S needed to cover everything in U ?

⋃, ⋂, \
⋃ “union”
⋂ “intersect”
\ “difference”
In mathematics, the intersection of two sets S and T, denoted by S ∩ T, is the set containing all elements of S that also belong to T (or equivalently, all elements of T that also belong to S).

Georg Ferdinand Ludwig Philipp Cantor ... was a German mathematician. He created set theory, which has become a fundamental theory in mathematics. Cantor ] defined infinite and well-ordered sets, and proved that the real numbers are more numerous than the natural numbers. In fact, Cantor's method of proof of this theorem implies the existence of an infinity of infinities.
Cantor's work is of great philosophical interest, a fact he was well aware of. Cantor's theory of transfinite numbers was originally regarded as so counter-intuitive – even shocking – that it encountered resistance from mathematical contemporaries such as Leopold Kronecker and Henri Poincaré[3] and later from Hermann Weyl and L. E. J. Brouwer, while Ludwig Wittgenstein raised philosophical objections. Cantor, a devout Lutheran, believed the theory had been communicated to him by God.
The objections to Cantor's work were occasionally fierce: Leopold Kronecker's public opposition and personal attacks included describing Cantor as a "scientific charlatan", a "renegade" and a "corrupter of youth".
Reminder: Subset Definition
Set A is a subset of set B
A ⊆ B
If & only if all elements of A are also in B
Power sets -- Turn n’ Talk
1.) What is the power set of {}?
2.) What is the power set of {a, b, c}
3.) What is the power set of { W, X, Y, Z }
Can we see a rule/pattern to determine the cardinality of a powerset?

High Level: Sets vs SequencesBoth can:-Contain anything-Can have a sequence of sequences, set of sets, sequence of sets, etc-Cannot be modified
Sets:-no duplicates-no order-has cardinality
Sequences:-can have duplicates-has order-has length
Lists, Arrays, Ordered pairs, Tuples, etc!
Cartesian Product of Sets
Ordered Pair: An ordered pair is a sequence with 2 elements. It is a pair of objects where one element is designated first and the other element is designated second, denoted (a, b).
Cartesian Product: The Cartesian product of two sets A and B, denoted A × B, is the set of all possible ordered pairs where the elements of A are first and the elements of B are second.
In set-builder notation, A × B = {(a, b) | a ∈ A and b ∈ B}.
Cartesian Product of Sets
{1, 2} × {3, 4, 5}
= {(1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5)}
Cartesian Product of Sets
|{1, 2} × {3, 4, 5}|
= |{(1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5)}|
Cartesian Product of Sets
|{1, 2} × {3, 4, 5}|

Set-Builder Notation

Set-Builder Notation
Set-Builder Notation
Let’s formalize our set operators in “set-builder notation”
Quick Side-Note:-We will need to link together multiple “conditions” with “and’s”,
“not’s” and “or’s”
Special symbols:
∨ is “or” (notice similarity to ⋃) ∧ is “and” (notice similarity to ⋂)
¬ is “not”
