Union (set theory)

In set theory, the union (denoted by ∪) of a collection of sets is the set of all elements in the collection. It is one of the fundamental operations through which sets can be combined and related to each other. A nullary union refers to a union of zero sets and it is by definition equal to the empty set. For explanation of the symbols used in this article, refer to the table of mathematical symbols. (Wikipedia).

What is a Union? (Set Theory)

What is A union B? How do you find the union of sets? What is an operation of sets? In this video we answer these questions, we will talk about the simple set operation: the union, what it is, and how to union two sets. I hope you find this video helpful, and be sure to ask any questions d

What is an Intersection? (Set Theory)

What is the intersection of sets? This is another video on set theory in which we discuss the intersection of a set and another set, using the classic example of A intersect B. We do not quite go over a formal definition of intersection of a set in this video, but we come very close! Be su

Union vs Intersection (Set Theory)

What is A union B? What is the union of sets? What is the intersection of sets? I've talked about these topic before, but in this video we will look at unions and intersections of sets side by side. So get ready to learn about these very cool set operations! I hope you find this video he

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

Zermelo Fraenkel Pairing and union

This is part of a series of lectures on the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms for set theory. We discuss the axioms of pairing and union, the two easiest axioms of ZFC, and consider whether they are really needed. For the other lectures in the course see https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL

Proof: A is a Subset of B iff A Union B Equals B | Set Theory, Subsets

A is a subset of B if and only if A union B equals B. We'll be sharpening our set theory proof skills with this simple result in today's video set theory lesson! Think of the result like this, if A is contained in B, then adding the elements of A to B doesn't change B at all, because B al

A Union B Equals A Intersect B iff A=B | Set Theory

Let A and B be two sets. Then, A=B if and only if A union B equals A intersect B. We will show this basic biconditional set equality result in today's set theory video lesson. We use what's called "double inclusion", which is just how we prove two sets are equal. To show A=B we prove A is

Proof: DeMorgan's Laws for Set Complement | Set Theory

DeMorgan's laws for sets tell us how set complement works over set union, and how set complement works over intersection. We'll be proving the two parts of De Morgan's laws in today's set theory video lesson! This is a simple proof using our definitions of set union, set intersection, set
