Naive set theory

Naive set theory is any of several theories of sets used in the discussion of the foundations of mathematics.Unlike axiomatic set theories, which are defined using formal logic, naive set theory is defined informally, in natural language. It describes the aspects of mathematical sets familiar in discrete mathematics (for example Venn diagrams and symbolic reasoning about their Boolean algebra), and suffices for the everyday use of set theory concepts in contemporary mathematics. Sets are of great importance in mathematics; in modern formal treatments, most mathematical objects (numbers, relations, functions, etc.) are defined in terms of sets. Naive set theory suffices for many purposes, while also serving as a stepping-stone towards more formal treatments. (Wikipedia).

BM5. Naive Set Theory

Basic Methods: We introduce basic notions from naive set theory, including sets, elements, and subsets. We give examples of showing two sets are equal by mutual inclusion. Then we define the power set and note Russell's paradox.

Introduction to Sets

We give some basic definitions and notions associated with sets. In particular, we describe sets via the "roster method", via a verbal description, and with set-builder notation. We also give an example of proving the equality of two sets. Please Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/michael

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

The Most Famous Book on Set Theory

In this video I will show you what is considered to be perhaps the most influential book ever written on Set Theory. The book is called Set Theory and it was written by Felix Hausdorff. Another wonderful book is Naive Set Theory by Paul Halmos. We will look at both books and I will explain

Why is the Empty Set a Subset of Every Set? | Set Theory, Subsets, Subset Definition

The empty set is a very cool and important part of set theory in mathematics. The empty set contains no elements and is denoted { } or with the empty set symbol ∅. As a result of the empty set having no elements is that it is a subset of every set. But why is that? We go over that in this

An Introduction to Sets (Set Theory)

What is a set in math? What are elements? What is cardinality? What are subsets? In this video we will answer all of those questions. We will pinpoint the definition of sets in math, talk about elements, explain what cardinality is, and what a subset is. I hope you find this video helpful,

Modern "Set Theory" - is it a religious belief system? | Set Theory Math Foundations 250

Modern pure mathematics suffers from a uniform disinterest in examining the foundations of the subject carefully and objectively. The current belief system that "mathematics is based on set theory" is quite misguided, and in its current form represents an abdication of our responsibility t

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
