Cantor set

In mathematics, the Cantor set is a set of points lying on a single line segment that has a number of unintuitive properties. It was discovered in 1874 by Henry John Stephen Smith and introduced by German mathematician Georg Cantor in 1883. Through consideration of this set, Cantor and others helped lay the foundations of modern point-set topology. The most common construction is the Cantor ternary set, built by removing the middle third of a line segment and then repeating the process with the remaining shorter segments. Cantor mentioned the ternary construction only in passing, as an example of a more general idea, that of a perfect set that is nowhere dense. More generally, in topology, a Cantor space is a topological space homeomorphic to the Cantor ternary set (equipped with its subspace topology). By a theorem of Brouwer, this is equivalent to being perfect nonempty, compact metrizable and zero dimensional. (Wikipedia).

What is a Set Complement?

What is the complement of a set? Sets in mathematics are very cool, and one of my favorite thins in set theory is the complement and the universal set. In this video we will define complement in set theory, and in order to do so you will also need to know the meaning of universal set. I go

What is a Power Set? | Set Theory, Subsets, Cardinality

What is a power set? A power set of any set A is the set containing all subsets of the given set A. For example, if we have the set A = {1, 2, 3}. Then the power set of A, denoted P(A), is {{ }, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}, {1, 2, 3}} where { } is the empty set. We also know that
