Sets and Operations

Sets and relations are two of the most important concepts in mathematics that is taught in middle school and is widely used in practical mathematics. A set is a collection of things such as letters, numbers, words, things etc. For example: {woodcraft construction toys, building blocks, construction sets}. This is a set of educational toys such as woodcraft construction toys and so on. Sets also functions different relationship in mathematics. Let’s have a look at the same in this post.

Union of Sets: When two sets are compared and a final set is created with the elements of set A and set B, the set created is called Union of sets. It is referred as A U B. While creating the union of sets, a single element if occurs in both the sets is used only once in the final set.

For example:
A = { Cloth toys for babies , Wooden play toys for kids , Soft toys for babies, Barbie Doll}
B = {Ludo, Chess, Snakes and Ladder, Barbie Doll}
A U B = {

Cloth toys for babies , Wooden play toys for kids, Soft toys for babies, Barbie Doll, Ludo, Chess, Snakes and Ladder}Intersection of Sets: When two sets are compared and a final set is created using the only common elements of set A and set B, then it is called as intersection of sets. It is referred as A ? B.

For example:
A = {Hair, Eye, Nose, Ear, Lips, Hands, Legs}
B = [Hair, Eye, Nose, Ear, Lips, Teeth, Tongue}
A ? B = {Hair, Eye, Nose, Lips}
Difference of Sets: The difference of sets is nothing but the set that includes the unique elements of set A and B. It is referred as A –B. For example:
A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
A – B = {1, 3, 5, 8, 10}
These are some of the basic relations in sets.
