1. What is set?
Answer: A set in mathematics is a collection of well defined and distinct objects, considered as an object in its own right. Sets are one of the most fundamental concepts in mathematics. Developed at the end of the 19th century, set theory is now a ubiquitous part of mathematics, and can be used as a foundation from which nearly all of mathematics can be derived. In mathematics education, elementary topics such as Venn diagrams are taught at a young age, while more advanced concepts are taught as part of a university degree.
A set is a well defined collection of objects. Georg Cantor, the founder of set theory. A set is a gathering together into a whole of definite, distinct objects of our perception and of our thought which are called elements of the set.
The elements or members of a set can be anything: numbers, people, letters of the alphabet, other sets, and so on. Sets are conventionally denoted with capital letters. Sets A and B are equal if and only if they have precisely the same elements.
As discussed below, the definition given above turned out to be inadequate for formal mathematics; instead, the notion of a "set" is taken as an undefined primitive in axiomatic set theory, and its properties are defined by the Zermelo–Fraenkel axioms. The most basic properties are that a set has elements, and that two sets are equal (one and the same) if and only if every element of one is an element of the other.

2.Who is Venn Diagram?

Answer: John Venn
John Venn was a mathematician remembered best for his contributions to the study of mathematical logic and probability. Venn was born in England in 1834, and studied at Cambridge University until 1857. He was ordained as a priest in 1859, and served as a curate for a year before returning to Cambridge to

    When given two equations the goal is to make the equations equivalent to one another. These two equations are equivalent. Two equations are known to be equivalent if they have the same solution set. A solution set is a set of numbers that that solve an algebraic equation. In the first equation, the solution set is {5}. In the second solution set both sides of the equation must be equal. Equal means that both sides are balanced. The equality of addition property states that each side of the equal sign must have the exact same numerical value. On both sides, we have a which is the same “number” or “letter”. Since 5 is on one of the sides 5 must be on the other side due to the equality of addition property. That makes x {5}. Finally, because both of their solution sets are {5}, we know that the two equations are equivalent because they have the same solution set.…

    Considered to be the most influential mathematician prior to Sir Isaac Newton, John Wallis was born in 1616 in Ashford, Kent, England, the son of Reverend John Wallis. At first locally educated, Wallis was first introduced to Math while at school in Felsted, Essex. At the time, however, Math was not considered a primary academic study. Enrolling in Emmanuel College, Cambridge, Wallis' plan was to become a Doctor but, after graduating, he went on to obtain his Masters degree in 1640, before becoming a Priest. Wallis was elected to a fellowship at Queen’s College, Cambridge in 1644 but resigned the following year after his marriage to Susanna Glyde.…

    Discrete mathematics is the study of mathematical structures that are fundamentally discrete rather than continuous. In contrast to real numbers that have the property of varying "smoothly", the objects studied in discrete mathematics – such as integers, graphs, and statements in logic – do not vary smoothly in this way, but have distinct, separated values. Discrete mathematics therefore excludes topics in "continuous mathematics" such as calculus and analysis. Discrete objects can often be enumerated by integers. More formally, discrete mathematics has been characterized as the branch of mathematics dealing with countable sets (sets that have the same cardinality as subsets of the integers, including rational numbers but not real numbers). However, there is no exact, universally agreed, definition of the term "discrete mathematics." Indeed, discrete mathematics is described less by what is included than by what is excluded: continuously varying quantities and related notions.…
