-
Set theory is a branch of mathematics concerned with the collection, classification and relationships of objects. It provides a foundation for databases, data analysis, logic, programming and business intelligence. In business, sets can be used to analyze customer behavior.
Concepts in Set theory
- Definition of a set
- Elements and membership
- Ways of describing a set
- Cardinality
- Types of sets
- Subsets and proper subset
- Power set
- Universal set
- Disjoint sets
- Set operations
- Cartesian product
- Venn diagrams
- Laws of sets
-
A relation is a collection of ordered pairs that links elements from one set to elements from another. It establishes connection between different business entities.
Concepts
- Definition
- Domain, Range, Codomain of a relation
- Ways of representing relations
- Database relationships
- Properties of relations
-
A function is a mathematical rule that establishes a relationship between two sets of values, where each input is associated with exactly one output. They provide a mathematical tool for representing relationships, analyzing patterns, making calculations and supporting data-driven decision-making.
