Set notation
use of set language and the following notation:
- Union of A and B: A∪B
- Intersection of A and B: A∩B
- Number of elements in set A: n(A)
- '… is an element of …': ∈
- '… is not an element of …': ∈/
- Complement of set A: A′
- The empty set: ∅
- Universal set: ξ
- A is a subset of B: A⊆B
- A is not a subset of B: A⊈B
- A is a (proper) subset of B: A⊂B
- A is not a (proper) subset of B: A⊂B
