Basic concepts in set theory

Subset

In mathematics, set A is a subset of a set B if all elements of A are also elements of B; B is then a superset of A. It is possible for A and B to be equal; if they are unequal, then A is a proper subset of B. The relationship of one set being a subset of another is called inclusion (or sometimes containment). A is a subset of B may also be expressed as B includes (or contains) A or A is included (or contained) in B. A k-subset is a subset with k elements. The subset relation defines a partial order on sets. In fact, the subsets of a given set form a Boolean algebra under the subset relation, in which the join and meet are given by intersection and union, and the subset relation itself is the Boolean inclusion relation.

Why Every Set is a Subset of Itself | Set Theory

Why is every set a subset of itself? That's what we'll go over in today's set theory video lesson! Let A and B be sets, then A is a subset of B if and only if every element of A is also in B. Certainly every element of A is in A, thus A is a subset of itself for any set A. A proper sub

Is Subset an Equivalence Relation? | Set Theory

Is the subset relation on all sets and equivalence relation? If so, it must be reflexive, symmetric, and transitive! We'll prove in today's set theory lesson that subset is a reflexive relation and a transitive relation, but it is not symmetric. If A is a subset of B, we cannot conclude th
