Table of Set Theory Symbols

The document defines common set theory symbols and their meanings. It provides the symbol, name, definition and examples of: the set symbol {}, intersection A∩B, union A∪B, subset A⊆B and proper subset A⊂B, complement Ac, element of a∈A and not element of x∉A, cross product A×B, empty set Ø, universal set, natural numbers sets 0 and 1, integer numbers set, rational numbers set, and real numbers set.

Table of set theory symbols

Symbol Symbol Name Meaning / definition Example

A = {3,7,9,14},
{} set a collection of elements
B = {9,14,28}

A∩B intersection objects that belong to set A and set B A ∩ B = {9,14}

A∪B union objects that belong to set A or set B A ∪ B = {3,7,9,14,28}

A⊆B subset subset has fewer elements or equal to the set {9,14,28} ⊆ {9,14,28}

A⊂B proper subset / strict subset subset has fewer elements than the set {9,14} ⊂ {9,14,28}

AB not subset left set not a subset of right set {9,66}  {9,14,28}

Ac complement all the objects that do not belong to set A

a∈
∈A element of set membership A={3,9,14}, 3 ∈ A

x∉
∉A not element of no set membership A={3,9,14}, 1 ∉ A

A×B cross product set of all ordered pairs from A and B

Ø empty set Ø={} C = {Ø}

universal set set of all possible values

natural numbers / whole numbers set


0 (with zero) 0 = {0,1,2,3,4,...} 0∈ 0

natural numbers / whole numbers set


1 (without zero) 1 = {1,2,3,4,5,...} 6∈ 1

integer numbers set = {...-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...} -6 ∈

rational numbers set = {x | x=a/b, a,b∈


∈ } 2/6 ∈

real numbers set = {x | -∞ < x <∞} 6.343434 ∈
