Mathematics: Class 11

Chapter 1: Sets

1. Introduction
The theory of sets was developed by German mathematician Georg Cantor. A set is a well-defined collection of
objects.

2. Definition
A set is a well-defined collection of objects. The objects, elements or members of a set are synonymous terms.

Example: The collection of all vowels in English alphabet is {a, e, i, o, u}.

3. Representation of Sets
There are two methods of representing a set:

• Roster or Tabular form: All the elements of a set are listed, separated by commas and are enclosed within
braces { }.
• Set-builder form: All the elements of a set possess a single common property which is not possessed by any
element outside the set.

Example: V = {x : x is a vowel in English alphabet}

4. Types of Sets
• Empty Set: A set which does not contain any element is called the empty set or the null set or the void set,
denoted by ∅ or {}.
• Finite and Infinite Sets: A set which is empty or consists of a definite number of elements is called finite
otherwise, it is called infinite.
• Equal Sets: Two sets A and B are said to be equal if they have exactly the same elements.
