A set is
often displayed by writing a list of its elements separated by commas betwe=
en
braces.
=
For
instance:
=
{J, A,
M, E, S} is a set containing the letters of my name. Elements of sets are usually liste=
d in
alphabetical order.
=
Hence,
=
{J, A,
M, E, S} =3D {A, E, J, M, S}
=
Note: A
<=
/span> {J,
A, M, E, S}
=
For
instance:
{
2, 0, 6=
, 3,
2, 5, 3, 1, 1, 9} is a set containing the digits of a phone number. Like Elements of a set are usually
listed only once. Numbers are frequently listed in
ascending order.
=
Hence,
{
2, 0, 6=
, 3,
2, 5, 3, 1, 1, 9 } =3D { 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9 }

Objectives:
·
To
recognize and correctly identify the elements of the sets of Whole Numbers,
Counting Numbers, and Integer Numbers.
·
To
recognize and properly use the set notation and the “element”
symbol..
