Sets
Origin: Lat. coniunctus
The objects of a set are called elements or members. The elements of a set can be anything: numbers, people, letters of the alphabet, other sets, and so on. Sets are conventionally denoted with capital letters, A, B, C, etc. Two sets A and B are said to be equal, written A = B, if they have the same members. A set is a collection of objects considered as a whole.
Spanish: Conjuntos
