We frequently think and talk of collections and groups of articles, people, statements, etc., for instance ‘students’, ‘real numbers’, ‘the positive integers’, ‘the Ten Commandments’. We will call any such collection aset and will represent sets in two ways—by capital letters A, B, C…, or byp, q, r, s wherep, q, r, s are the fourmembers of the set.
