All of Mathematics can be described with sets.
All of Mathematics can be described with *sets*.
*set*
: A collection of things. The things in the set are called *elements*.
An example of a set: ${2,4,6,8}$
An example of a set: $\{2,4,6,8\}$
The set of all integers:
$$ {\dots, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, \dots} $$
$$ \{\dots, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, \dots\} $$
The dots mean the expressed pattern continues.

Sets are *equal* if they have exactly the same elements.
E.g. ${2,4,5,8} = {4,2,8,6}$ but ${2,4,6,8} \neq {2,4,6,7}$.
E.g. $\{2,4,5,8\} = \{4,2,8,6\}$ but $\{2,4,6,8\} \neq \{2,4,6,7\}$.
Uppercase letters often denote sets, e.g. $A = {1,2,3,4}$.
Uppercase letters often denote sets, e.g. $A = \{1,2,3,4\}$.
To express membership, we use $\in$, as in $2 \in A$.
