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. Operation of Set (continuation)

3. Difference of two sets.
If A and B two sets, then we can form a new set of elements consisting of members of set A is not a member of set B. This new set of written A - B, and read "set A less set B"; or if it is written with a set-forming notation : A - B = {x | x ∈ A and x ∉ B}.
Formed a new set of elements may also be a member of set B are not members of set A, and it is written as B - A, read as "less a set A set B"; or if it is written with a set-forming notation: B-A = {x | x ∈ B and x ∉ A}.

For example:
If A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} and B = {1, 3, 5}, then A - B = {2, 4, 6, 7}
If A = {a, b, c} and B = {a, b, c, d, e, f}, then B - A = {d, e, f}
If C = {3, 5, 7} and D = {3, 5, 7}, then A-B = {} or A - B the set is empty.

4. The set of the same Set.

Two sets A and B is said to equal if and only if every member of A is a member of B as well, or vice versa, every member of B is a member of A as well.
Two sets A and B are the same written A = B, or if written with a set forming notation set : A = B = {x | x ∈ A and x ∈ B}.
For example:
If A = {2, 3, 1, 5, 4} and B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, then A = B.
If A = {b, c, d} and B = {b, c, d}, then A = B.
Note that the order of the writing member is not a problem on any set (not shown differences in membership of a set).
