  Class (set theory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some classes are sets (for instance, the class of all integers that are even), but others are not (for instance, the class of all ordinal numbers or the class of all sets).
A proper class cannot be an element of a set or a class and is not subject to the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms of set theory; thereby a number of paradoxes of naive set theory are avoided.
The word "class" is sometimes used synonymously with "set," most notably in the term "equivalence class." This usage dates from a historical period where classes and sets were not distinguished as they are in modern terminology.

 All About Musical Set Theory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Set class analysis refers to the efforts of music theorists to reveal the systems that composers like Schoenberg and his followers used to organize the pitch content of their works.
Sets with the same prime form contain the same number of pitches and the same collection of intervals between its pitches, hence they are in some sense aurally "equivalent," in much the same way that all major chords are aurally equivalent in tonal music.
There is one occurence of interval class 1 (between the 2 and the 3), one occurence of interval class 6 (between the 3 and the 9) and one occurence of interval class 5 (between the 2 and the 9).

In mathematics, the jargon term "up to xxxx" is used to describe a situation in which members of an equivalence class can be regarded as a single entity for some purpose.
In group theory, for example, this may be a group action.
This means that there are two equivalence classes of groups of order 4, if we consider groups to be equivalent if they are isomorphic.

For if Ω* were consistent, then as a well-ordered set, a number D [delta] would belong to it which would be greater than all numbers of the system Ω; the number D, however, also belongs to the system Ω, because it comprises all numbers.
There is a quick fix in Zermelo's system by his Axiom of Separation, which stipulates that sets cannot be independently defined by any arbitrary logically definable notion, but must be separated as subsets of sets already "given".
Any such totality would itself have to be a set, thus lying somewhere within the hierarchy and thus failing to contain every set.

Pitch-class set analysis was developed with a specific musical repertoire in mind, the atonal (non 12-tone) music of the first part of the 20th century.
Forte’s answer: unordered pitch-class set theory was not developed within “a twelve-tone theoretical mold”, but was derived independently and inductively through the intensive study of a good deal of music.
Set identification engages a number of complex analytical decisions, primarily in the domain of segmentation: the determination of those musical units that are to be regarded as structural.

 80.07.04: Logic and Set Theory
A set is a well defined collection of “objects.” The term “well defined” means that the set is described in such a way that we can determine whether or not any given object belongs to that set.
Equal sets are sets in which both elements of set A and elements of set B are the same written A> B. If A = {1,2,3} and B= {3,1,2} they are equal sets.
Note: The definition for union says that in order for an element to be part of the solution set for AU B it must only be a member of either set A or of set B. The definition of the disjunction “or” also requires that only one statement p or q be true.

 Set theory
The history of set theory is rather different from the history of most other areas of mathematics.
Rather than dismiss set theory because of the paradoxes, ways were sought to keep the main features of set theory yet eliminate the paradoxes.
However the method of avoiding the paradoxes by introducing a 'theory of types' made it impossible to say that a class was or was not a member of itself.

 Property (philosophy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
It differs from the logical concept of class by not having any concept of extensionality, and from the philosophical concept of class in that a property is considered to be distinct from the objects which possess it.
In mathematical terminology, given any element of a set X, a certain property p is either true or false.
Any property gives rise in a natural way to the set {x: x has the property p} and the corresponding characteristic function.

 Re: [Set Theory] Class of Ordinals well-ordered ?
I define the class of ordinals Ord(X): Strictly speaking, ZF does not have proper classes.
Ordinals are transitive sets with the property of being well-ordered by the set membership relation.
There may be other sets (non-ordinals) that violate the regularity axiom, but ordinals are ordinals whether you have regularity or not.

 A HYPERMEDIA ENVIRONMENT FOR EXPLORING PITCH-CLASS SETS IN BARTÓK'S MIKROKOSMOS
In the theory of unordered pc sets, the generator is a Tn/TnI-type or prime form, and the rules are the operations of pitch class transposition (Tn), or inversion followed by transposition (TnI).
Mikrokosmik Sets is a suite of hypermedia documents that facilitate exploration of Bartók's Mikrokosmos from the viewpoint of pitch-class set theory.
Topics addressed include integer representation of pitch, pitch class, name class, and octave, and of the corresponding intervals between such elements, transposition and inversion of ordered sets, normalization of unordered sets, interval cycles, pc set-types (classes) interval class vectors, and the diatonic and pentatonic collections including their modes and subsets.

 MTO 3.3: Ethan T. Haimo, Linear Analysis--A Cure for Pitch-Class Set Analysis?
In Latham's view, pitch-class set analysis of Schoenberg's music remains a viable approach because Forte has developed a more sophisticated method for its application--linear analysis--a method that (presumably) is free from the problems raised in my article.
However, there is nothing in any of these more recent articles to indicate that pitch-class set analysis, as preached and practiced in his earlier essays, has been replaced by this new method.
Instead, an objective pitch-class set analysis (which is a type two analysis) of Schoenberg's music simply yields an unwieldy, random, almost unlimited, mass of sets.

This is a music-theoretical study of the relationship of two-, three-, four-, five-, and six-member subsets to the major (pure minor), harmonic minor, and melodic (ascending) minor reference collections, using pitch-class set analytic techniques.
Several new terms are introduced to facilitate the application of pitch-class set theory to descriptions of tonal pitch relations, and to retain characteristic intervallic relationships in tonal music typically not found in discussions of atonal pitch-class relations.
Further, it is suggested that the probability of a specific key interpretation by a listener may depend on the scale-degree functions of the tones.

As described in chapter 2, pitch-class set theory and transformation theory form the theoretical basis for the present study.
Specifically, it is Martino's preoccupation with symmetrical set classes that functions as a link in his compositional development from the octatonic to the chromatic.
Indeed, as the analytical chapters attest, it seems that Martino was eventually drawn to the symmetrical pitch-class relations that result from the resources of the total chromatic?resources that are significantly greater in number than those of the octatonic collection.

 Introduction to the Music Theory Cipher_Part 2 page 2
In Set Theory, after starting with that simple line of numbers, it’s practitioners almost immediately head for left field, adding layers of transformations and reductions, looking for patterns.
At any rate, the use of chromatic numbers (including zero) in Set Theory is further precedence, another place in music theory (albeit an obscure, advanced, and atonal form of Western music theory) where such (initial) numbers are recognized as being “natural” and are used every day.
The point is to use both sets of numbers, to integrate them, as needed and for as long as they’re needed, to help you understand the elements of Classical Western music theory and the necks of string instruments (from guitar to violin).
