Define universal set, Mathematics

Q. What is set theory? Define universal set?

Ans.

The universe, or universal set, written as U, is the set that contains all elements being considered in a given discussion. For example, if we are considering the states in the U.S., the universe will contain 50 elements: California, Alaska, New York, etc. In set notation this is written:

It is read: "U is the set of all x such that x is a state of the U.S."

The elements of a set are all of the possible members of the set.

The cardinal number of a set is the number of elements in that set. This corresponds to the notation n(A), meaning the number of elements of set A.

A set that contains no elements has a cardinal number of 0 and is called the empty or null set, written as Φ or {}.

The set B is a subset of A, denoted B ⊆ A., if and only if every element of B is an element of A. Notice that this definition of subset allows B to be equal to A. Two subsets are equal if they have the exact same elements.

if B ⊆ A And A ⊆ B then A= B
