1. Preliminaries 1. Set operations A set is a collection of some items such as outcomes of an experiment. We denote sets using upper case letters, say A and write a ∈ A if a is an element belonging to A. If A and B are two sets, then the notation A ⊆ B means that the set A is included in B , i.e. each element of A is also an element of B : A⊆B iff [∀a ∈ A : a ∈ B ] If A ⊆ B and A = B then we say that the set A forms a proper subset of B and write A ⊂ B .
