I fully agree to it. Not quite. It’s unlikely.

I don’t think this is the case. Just the reverse.

1. In ordinary algebra we use small letters to represent sets and capital letters to represent elements. 2. Sets can themselves be elements of other sets. 3. Two sets are equal if they have different elements. 4. The order inside the brackets makes difference. 5. A set is considered to be known if we know what its elements are. 6. The mathematical notion of a set doesn’t allow sets with one member. 7. The empty set is “nothing”. 8. The empty set must not be confused with the number 0.

Ex. 12. Read the following sentences, find the Absolute Participle Construction and translate them into Russian.

1. Each major concept embraces not one but many diverse objects, all having some common property. 2. The theorem having been stated, the students began proving it. 3. We may use two different methods, the first being the more general one. 4. This system consists only of one equation, the other two being its consequences. 5. The theorem being true, we cannot assume that its converse must be true. 6. A function being continuous at every point of the set, it is continuous throughout the set. 7. No sign preceding a term, the plus sign is understood. 8. The coordinates being given, we can specify the position of any point in the plane. 9. The set is bounded above and below, there being numbers greater than and numbers smaller than all the numbers in the set.

One must learn how to draw graphs. 5. In this case one needs to consider all possible proofs. 6. Similarly one can prove the other laws of arithmetic. 7. One should not be surprised at this. 8. In order to apply group theory to a branch of mathematics, one must check that the relevant objects are groups. 9. For practical purposes one needs good approximate constructions. 10. One must realize that the development of mathematics was by no means the product of one individual’s efforts.

 

Ex. 14. Say this in English.

1. Множество – это набор каких-либо объектов, называемых его элементами и обладающих общим для всех них характерным свойством. 2. Обычно множества обозначаются заглавными буквами, а члены множества строчными буквами. 3. Объекты, которые принадлежат множеству, являются элементами или членами множества. 4. Множества, представляющие интерес в математике, содержат абстрактные математические объекты. 5. Считают, что множество известно, если мы знаем его элементы. 6. Существует много способов точного определения множества. 7. Два множества равны, если они содержат одинаковые элементы. 8. Множества с одним элементом не нужно путать с самим элементом. 9. Множество, не содержащее элементы, называется пустым. 10. Пустое множество нельзя путать с нулём, так как 0 – это число, а пустое множество – это множество.

SET THEORY

Set theory is the branch of mathematical logic that studies sets, which are collections of objects. Although any type of object can be collected into a set, set theory is applied most often to objects that are relevant to mathematics. The language of set theory can be used in the definitions of nearly all mathematical objects.

The modern study of set theory was initiated by George Cantor and Richard Dedekind in the 1870s.

Set theory begins with a fundamental binary relation between an object o and a set A. If o is a member (or an element) of A, write oA. Since sets are objects, the membership relation can relate sets as well.

A derived binary relation between two sets is the subset relation, also called set inclusion. If all the members of set A are also members of set B, then A is a subset of B, denoted A ⊆ B. For example, {1,2} is a subset of {1,2,3}, but {1,4} is not. From this definition, it is clear that a set is a subset of itself; for cases where one wishes to rule out this, the term ‘proper subset’ is defined. A is called a proper subset of B if and only if A is a subset of B, but B is not a subset of A.

Just as arithmetic features binary operations on numbers, set theory features binary operations on sets.

Set theory as a foundation for mathematical analysis, topology, abstract algebra, and discrete mathematics is likewise uncontroversial; mathematicians accept that (in principle) theorems in these areas can be derived from the relevant definitions and the axioms of set theory. Few full derivations of complex mathematical theorems from set theory have been formally verified, however, because such formal derivations are often much longer than the natural language proofs mathematicians commonly present.

Set theory is a major area of research in mathematics, with many interrelated subfields.
