Computable set

In computability theory, a set of natural numbers is called computable, recursive, or decidable if there is an algorithm which takes a number as input, terminates after a finite amount of time (possibly depending on the given number) and correctly decides whether the number belongs to the set or not. A set which is not computable is called noncomputable or undecidable. A more general class of sets than the computable ones consists of the computably enumerable (c.e.) sets, also called semidecidable sets. For these sets, it is only required that there is an algorithm that correctly decides when a number is in the set; the algorithm may give no answer (but not the wrong answer) for numbers not in the set.

Introduction to sets || Set theory Overview - Part 2

A set is the mathematical model for a collection of different things; a set contains elements or members, which can be mathematical objects of any kind: numbers, symbols, points in space, lines, other geometrical shapes, variables, or even other #sets. The #set with no element is the empty

How to Identify the Elements of a Set | Set Theory

Sets contain elements, and sometimes those elements are sets, intervals, ordered pairs or sequences, or a slew of other objects! When a set is written in roster form, its elements are separated by commas, but some elements may have commas of their own, making it a little difficult at times

Power Set of the Math Set {m, a, t, h} | Set Theory

We find the power set of the set {m, a, t, h}, going over strategies and the general method to use for finding power sets. #SetTheory Recall the power set of a set S, P(S), is the set of all subsets of S. Thus, the cardinality of the power set of S is the number of subsets of S, which is
