Venn diagrams are limited to two or three sets.
The following set of notation will be used:
??? n(A) Number of elements in set A
??? — ?????? is an element of ??????
??? — ?????? is not an element of ??????
??? A??? Complement of set A
??? — The empty set
??? Universal set
??? A — B A is a subset of B
??? A — B A is not a subset of B
??? A — B Union of A and B
??? A — B Intersection of A and B.
Example definition of sets:
A = {x: x is a natural number}
B = {(x, y): y = mx + c}
C = {x: a — x — b}
D = {a, b, c, ???}.
