	Set theory Summary
		In naive set theory, sets are introduced and understood using what is taken to be the self-evident concept of sets as collections of objects considered as a whole.
		Naive set theory is the original set theory developed by mathematicians at the end of the 19th century.
		Axiomatic set theory is a rigorous axiomatic branch of mathematics developed in response to the discovery of serious flaws (such as Russell's paradox) in naïve set theory.

	Naive set theory
		Naive set theory is distinguished from axiomatic set theory by the fact that the former regards sets as collections of objects, called the elements or members of the set, whereas the latter regards sets only as that which satisfies the axioms.
		Sets are of great importance in mathematics; in fact, in the modern formal treatment, the whole machinery of pure mathematics (numbers, relations, functions, etc.) is defined in terms of sets.
		Naive set theory was developed at the end of the 19th century (principally by Georg Cantor) in order to allow mathematicians to work with infinite sets consistently.

		Set theory, having only been invented at the end of the 19th century, is now a ubiquitous part of mathematics education, being introduced as early as primary school.
		Set theory can be viewed as the foundation upon which nearly all of mathematics can be built and the source from which nearly all mathematics can be derived.
		This set includes all rational numbers, together with all irrational numbers (that is, numbers which can't be rewritten as fractions, such as $\pi,$ $e,$ and √2).

	Set:
		Having only been invented at the end of the 19th century, set theory is now a ubiquitous part of mathematics education, being introduced from primary school in many countries.
		Sets are conventionally denoted with capital letters, for instance A, B and C.
		In an attempt to avoid these paradoxes, set theory was axiomatized based on first-order logic, and thus the axiomatic set theory was born.

		All set operations preserve the property that each element in the set is unique.
		Similarly, the order in which the elements of a set are listed is irrelevant, unlike a sequence or tuple.
		So \mathbb{Z} \mathbb{Q} denotes the set of all rational numbers (that is, the set of all proper and improper fractions).

		Hexadecimal notation in set theory provides a compact single digit system for representing pc sets; e.g., 2, 5, 7, 9, 11 in hexidecimal is 2579B, which is more concise and does not need separators.
		In set theory the word "interval" is often informally used to mean interval class, the latter of which is of greater generality.

	Complement (set theory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In set theory and other branches of mathematics, two kinds of complements are defined, the relative complement and the absolute complement.
		If A and B are sets, then the relative complement of A in B, also known as the set-theoretic difference of B and A, is the set of elements in B, but not in A.
		For example, if the universal set is the set of natural numbers, then the complement of the set of odd numbers is the set of even numbers.

	Set Theory
		Set theory is also defined in terms of logic they are inextricably entwined for instance A intersect B = {x:x elem A ^ x elem B}.
		Logic and sets are closely related, and the former is a prerequisite for the latter.
		The leading axiomatic set theory, Zermelo-Fraenkel, uses first-order logic, but as I said, all that's necessary are the basic logical operators, element-of, and either universal or existential quantification.

		That this union of M is a set no matter how large a set M itself might be, is the content of the axiom of union in axiomatic set theory.

	All About Musical Set Theory
		Keep in mind that sets and set classes determined pitch content only; the composers remained free to fashion all other aspects of the music according to their artistic desires (at least until super-serialism, a philosophy of subjecting every aspect of the music to serial techniques, came into fashion in the 1950s).
		The set (2,9,10), for example, is not in normal form because the interval between 2 and 9 (7) is larger than the intervals between 9 and 10 (1) or between 10 and 2 (4).
		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.

	Set Theory Using the SET® Game.
		The easiest way to think of union is that for any two sets, their union includes all of the elements that are in one or both of the sets.
		The intersection of two sets is the elements that are in both sets, or the elements the two sets have in common.
		The complement of a particular set is simply all the elements in the universal set that are not in that set.

	Set Theory Primer
		For instance, the statement that the major chord is a subset of the 12-note set, although true, is insignificant, because all sets are subsets of the 12-note set; i.e., the statement is not discriminating.
		By this criteria it is assumed that the perception of the similarity of small sets is easier than is the perception of the similarity of large ones; i.e., the similarity of, say, 9-note sets would be more difficult to perceive than their complements, 3-note sets.
		Two pc sets of the same cardinality can be mapped to one another, with the exception of one pc in one of the sets, which must be within a semitone of a match with the unmatched pc of the other set.

		All the set theory books seem to either just do basic stuff with ordinals and cardinals (excluding forcing and large cardinals and determinacy and the like) or put forcing at least 100 or 200 pages in and rely on a lot of the material that's discussed in earlier chapters.
