(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In common usage, a collection is any group of items that has one or more properties in common. For example, paintings from the same artist, or coins from Germany before 1900, see collecting and collectible.
In mathematics, collection is another term for set, or sometimes for class.

In mathematics, a set is a collection of objects such that two sets are equal if, and only if, they contain the same objects. A finite set is a set that can be put into bijective correspondence with a set {1, 2, ..., n}; the alternative is an infinite set. For a discussion of the properties and axioms concerning the construction of sets, see naive set theory and axiomatic set theory. Here we give only a brief overview of the concept.
Sets are one of the basic concepts of mathematics. A set is, more or less, just a collection of objects, called its elements. Standard notation uses braces around the list of elements, as in:
All three lines above denote the same set. As you see, it is possible to describe one and the same set in different ways: either by listing all its elements (best for small finite sets) or by giving a defining property of all its elements; and it does not matter in what order, or how many times, the elements are listed, if a list is given.
- {red, green, blue}
- {red, red, blue, red, green, red, red, green, red, red, blue}
- {x : x is an additive primary color}
Set Terminology
If and are sets and every in is also contained in , then is said to be a subset of , denoted . If at least one element in is not also in , is called a proper subset of , denoted . Every set has as subsets itself, called the improper subset, and the empty set {} or . The fact that an element belongs to the set is denoted .
The union of a collection of sets is the set of all elements contained in at least one of the sets
The intersection of a collection of sets is the set of all elements contained in all of the sets.
These unions and intersections are denoted
and
respectively.
The "number of elements" in a certain set is called the cardinal number of the set and denoted for a set (for a finite set this is an ordinary number, for an infinite set it differentiates between different "degrees of infiniteness", named (aleph zero), ).
The set of all subsets of is called its power set and is denoted or . This power set is a Boolean algebra under the operations of union and intersection.
The set of functions from a set A to a set B is sometimes denoted by BA. It is a generalisation of the power set in which 2 could be regarded as the set {0,1} (see natural number).
The cartesian product of two sets A and B is the set
The sum of two sets A and B is the set
- A+B = A×{0} ∪ B×{1}.
Examples of Sets of Numbers
- Natural numbers which are used for counting the members of sets.
- Integers which appear as solutions to equations like x + a = b.
- Rational numbers which appear as solutions to equations like a + bx = c.
- Algebraic numbers which can appear as solutions to polynomial equations (with integer coefficients) and may involve radicals and certain other irrational numbers.
- Real numbers which include transcendental numbers (which can't appear as solutions to polynomial equations with rational coefficents) as well as the algebraic numbers.
- Complex numbers which provide solutions to equations such as x2 + 1 = 0.
Special Remarks About Terminology
Care must be taken with verbal descriptions of sets. One can describe in words a set whose existence is paradoxical. If one assumes such a set exists, an apparent paradox or antinomy may occur. Axiomatic set theory was created to avoid these problems.
For example, suppose we call a set "well-behaved" if it doesn't contain itself as an element. Now consider the set S of all well-behaved sets. Is S itself well-behaved? There is no consistent answer; this is Russell's paradox. In axiomatic set theory, the set S is either not allowed (in the case of the Zermelo-Frankel axioms) or is considered to be a proper class (in the case of the von Neumann-Bernays-Godel axioms), and we have no paradox.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | OPPOSITION, n. In politics the party that prevents the Government from running amuck by hamstringing it. The King of Ghargaroo, who had been abroad to study the science of government, appointed one hundred of his fattest subjects as members of a parliament to make laws for the collection of revenue. Forty of these he named the Party of Opposition and had his Prime Minister carefully instruct them in their duty of opposing every royal measure. Nevertheless, the first one that was submitted passed unanimously. Greatly displeased, the King vetoed it, informing the Opposition that if they did that again they would pay for their obstinacy with their heads. The entire forty promptly disemboweled themselves. "What shall we do now?" the King asked. "Liberal institutions cannot be maintained without a party of Opposition." "Splendor of the universe," replied the Prime Minister, "it is true these dogs of darkness have no longer their credentials, but all is not lost. Leave the matter to this worm of the dust." So the Minister had the bodies of his Majesty's Opposition embalmed and stuffed with straw, put back into the seats of power and nailed there. Forty votes were recorded against every bill and the nation prospered. But one day a bill imposing a tax on warts was defeated -- the members of the Government party had not been nailed to their seats! This so enraged the King that the Prime Minister was put to death, the parliament was dissolved with a battery of artillery, and government of the people, by the people, for the people perished from Ghargaroo. |
