Study notes

Sets & Matrices

Set notation and Venn-diagram counting, plus matrix addition, scalar multiplication, and the matrix product.

What this topic covers

  • A set is a well-defined collection, written with notation
  • Union combines, intersection overlaps
  • The complement is everything outside the set
  • The addition rule counts a union without double-counting the overlap
  • A matrix is a rectangular array; only matrices of the SAME order can be added or subtracted
  • The matrix product is row-by-column, not entry-by-entry
