Union
Selects elements in either sets
Intersect
Selects elements that are in all sets
Difference
Selects elements that are only in the first set, but not in the second set.
Cartesian Product
Finds all possible combinations of elements from 2 sets
Subset
A set A is a subset of set B if all elements in A are also in B
Proper subset
A set A is a subset of set B if all elements in A are also in B and there is at least 1 element in B that are not in A
Superset
A set B is a superset of set A if every element of A is also an element of B
Proper superset
A set B is a superset of set A if every element of A is also an element of B and there is at least 1 element in B which is not in A
Universal set
A non-empty set of all of the possible elements relevant to the solution of a problem
Complement set
The difference between the universe and a given set (U-A or comp(A) )
