Meaning / definition
Example
{ }
set
a collection of elements
A = {3,7,9,14},
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}
A ⊄ B
not subset
left set not a subset of right set
{9,66} ⊄{9,14,28}
A ⊇ B
superset
set A has more elements or equal to the set B
{9,14,28} ⊇{9,14,28}
A ⊃ B
proper superset / strict superset
set A has more elements than set B
{9,14,28} ⊃{9,14}
A ⊅ B
not superset
set A is not a superset of set B
{9,14,28} ⊅{9,66}
2A
power set
all subsets of A

\mathcal{P}(A)
power set
all subsets of A

A = B
equality
both sets have the same members
A={3,9,14},
B={3,9,14},
A=B
Ac
complement
all the objects that do not belong to set A

A \ B
relative complement
objects that belong to A and not to B
A = {3,9,14},
B = {1,2,3},
A-B = {9,14}
A - B
relative complement
objects that belong to A and not to B
A = {3,9,14},
B = {1,2,3},
A-B = {9,14}
A ∆ B
symmetric difference
objects that belong to A or B but not to their intersection
A = {3,9,14},
B = {1,2,3},
A ∆ B = {1,2,9,14}
A ⊖ B
symmetric difference
objects that belong to A or B but not to their intersection
A = {3,9,14},
B = {1,2,3},
A 
⊖ B = {1,2,9,14}
a∈A

 A={3,9,14}, 3 ∈ A
x∉A
not element of
no set membership
A={3,9,14}, 1 ∉ A
(a,b)
ordered pair
