This document defines and provides examples of set operations including union, intersection, complement, and difference. It discusses set cardinality and set identities. Examples are provided to illustrate membership tables and Venn diagrams for sets of up to 3 elements. Methods for proving set identities such as using subsets, logic, or membership tables are also described.

2. SECTION SUMMARY
 Set operations
 Union
 Intersection
 Complementation
 Difference
 More on set cardinality
 Set identities
 Proving identities
 Membership tables

3. UNION
 DEFINITION:
Let A and B be sets.the union of the sets A and B
,denoted by AUB,is the set:

Example:what is{1,2,3} U {3,4,5}?
Solution:{1,2,3,4,5}
{X|XE A V XE B}
U
A B

4. INTERSECTION
Definition:The intersection of sets A and B,denoted by
AnB,is
 Then A and B are said to be disjoint
Example:what is {123}n {345}
Solution:[3]
{X|X E A ^ X E B
U
A B

5. COMPLEMENTED
 Definition:If A is set,then the complement of the A
denoted by A is the set U-A
 Example:if U is the positive integers less than 100,what is
the complement of{x |x>70}
A={X E U| X E|A
A
AA

6. DIFFERENCE
 Definition:Let A and B be sets.the difference ofA and B
,denoted by A-B,is the set containing the elements of A
that are not inB,
 The difference of A and B is called complement of B with
respect to A.

A-B={X|X E A^ X E B}=AnB
COMPLEMENT

7. CARDINATY OF THE UNION
OF TWO SETS
 EXAMPLE:
 Let A be the math majors in your class and B be the
CS majors.
To count the number of students who are either math
major or CS major,add the number of math majors and the
numbers of CS majors,and subtract the number of joints
CSmath majors.

8. REVIEW QUESTIONS
1. Example:U={0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}A={1,2,3,4,5},B={4
,5,6,7,8}
2. AUB:{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
3. AnB;{4,5}
4. A COMPLEMENT:{0,6,7,8,9,10}
5. B COMPLEMENT:{O,1,2,3,9,10}
6. A-B:{1,2,3}
7. B-A:{6,7,8}

9. SYMMETRIC DIFFERENCE
 Definition:The symmetric difference of AandB
denoted by AOB is the set
(A-B)U(B-A)
EXAMPLE:
U={0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}
A={1,2,3,4,5} B={4,5,6,7,8}
SOLUTION:
{1,2,3,6,7,8}
A B

11. SET IDENTITES
 IDENTITY LAWS
A U =A AnU=A
 Domination laws
AuU=U An=0
 Idempotent laws
AUA=A AnA=A
 Complementation law
(A)=A

12. TYPES OF LAWS
 COMMUTATIVE LAWS
 AUB=BUA ANB=BnA
ASSOCIATIVE LAWS
 AU(BUC)=(AUB)UC
 An(BnC)=(AnB)nC
DISTRIBUTIVE LAWS
 An(BUC)=(AnB)U(AnC)
 AU(BnC)=(AU B)n(AUC)

13. PROVING SET IDENTITES
Different ways to prove set identites:
Prove that each set is a subset of the other.
Use set builder notation and propositional logic.
 membership tables:verify that elements in the same
combination of sets always either belong or do not belong
to the same side of the identity.
Use 1 to indicate it is the set and a 0 to indicate that it is
not.

14. CONCLUSION
Restored sets of values in a dynamic databases are simply
read and write operations with respect to the databases
respectively.although the values used during restortation
are typically two operations reading and writing.
