1.C: Sets and Venn Diagrams

Set

a collection of objects

Members of a Set

the individual objects within a set; written by listing within a pair of braces

Venn Diagram

a diagram that uses circles to represent sets

Subset

when a set is fully a part of another set in a Venn Diagram

Disjoint

when a set is fully separate/cannot realistically be a part of another set in a Venn Diagram

Overlapping

when a set may or may not be able to be part of another set

Note:

if the inside of a set within a Venn Diagram argues one thing, the outside argues the negation (i.e, if one circle notates men, and the other notates doctors, those outside the men circle are women, even if it’s inside the doctor circle.)
