Definition of Set

What is a Set?

A set is a collection of well-defined objects.

A set can be described or defined in two ways:

1. By listing out its members
2. By describing the property or rule that connects its members.

i. M = {60° set square, 45° Set Square, protractor, ruler, compasses}

ii. M = {mathematical instruments}

i. Shows the list of members
ii. Shows the defining property

Another way of representing a set is to show its members within a boundary__ this is called a Venn diagram.
