Mathematics is a universal science that underlies the development of modern technology and has an important role invarious disciplines. Mathematics plays an important role in alldimensions of life. Learning mathematics is to learn to think inlogical, analytical, systematic, critical and creative.

Mathematics is not difficult. Hard is relative. If you do not know it, you do not love it. For me, for friends, for students, for parents or anyone who is interested, let us learn together.

VI. PICTURE OF SET

There is a useful way to express a set with a picture.
Picture or diagram of this kind is called "Venn Diagram". The name is in accordance with the name of the inventor, namely John Venn, a British mathematician who lived during the years 1834 to 1923.
Rules of the image sets with Venn diagrams:

The Universe set is depicted by rectangles. All elements of the universe is drawn as the dots.
Subset of the universe talks depicted by a closed curve that surrounds the dots belonging to its members.
For example:

U = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} with a subset K = {3, 7, 5} and L = {2, 4} , his Venn diagram :

                   Fig. 2. diagram venn

If a member of the set was too much to be drawn as a dot, then the diagram of its members were not described, simply described set form only, or square and a closed curve with the name alone.

For example :

U = {Senior High Schools in Indonesia}, L = { Senior High Schools in Jakarta and }
K = { Senior High School in North Jakarta }, his Venn diagram:

                              Fig. 3.GBr.3

The use of shading or color in the Venn diagram will generate a clearer diagram.
