                          If an element a is contained in a set A, then this fact is written
                          as:

                                                           a   A





                          Set intersection
                          The intersection of twm setð A and B, written A   B, is the set
                          C such that the following statement is true for every element
                          x:


                                               x   C ↔ x   A and x   B



                          Set union
                          The union of twm setð A and B, written A   B, is the set C such
                          that the following statement is true for every element x:

                                                x   C ↔ x   A or x   B



                          Subsets
                          A set A is a subset of a set B, written A   B, if and only if the
                          following holdð true:


                                                     x   A → x   B



                          Proper subsets
                          A set A is a proper subset of a set B, written A   B, if and only
                          if botà the following hold true:


                                                     x   A → x   B

                                                          A   B



                          DisjoinŁ sets

                          Twm setð A and B are disjoint if and only if all three of the
                          following conditionð are met:
