6. Why set Theory??
The concept and the language of set plays a very
important role in expressing mathematical ideas
concisely and precisely.
1For geometry
Set theory is an important
aspect for the points study in
geometry.
2For Sequence & Series
Made easy along with the use of
set theory.
3For Probability
Set theory is used in areas like
statistics and probability.
4For Relations & Functions
For the study of relations and
functions we must have good
understanding of set theory..
7. Georg Cant
orMathematician
defined infinite and well-or
dered set.
Developed the notion of set theory in
mathematics.
Established the importance of one-to-one c
orrespondence between the members of t
wo sets.
History
10. POINTS TO REMEMBER
Some points to remember while writing representing the sets.
The objects
belonging to a
set are called its
elements or the
members.
Objects
inside set01
A set is always
represented by
a capital or
uppercase
alphabet.
Naming a
set02 The elements or
members of the
set are
represented by
a small or
lowercase
alphabet.
Naming an
objects03
11. Examples
Set of natural numbers less
than 10.
Set of prime number less
than 10.
Set of vowels in English
alphabet.

12. Belongs to
If e, is any element of a set A, we will say
“ e belongs to A”
and write it as ,
e ∈ A
If e, is not any element of a set A, we will say
“ e does not belongs to A”
and write it as ,
e ∉ A

“belongs to”
