what is subset?

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

subset is what is inside of a set.

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

Hmm like an example would be.. Suppose there are 40 students in a class. 20 of those 40 students would be a subset of those 40 students

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

By the way all 40 of those students would also be a subset of that group of 40 students

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a subset is a smaller set that is contained in the larger set, and nothing is a subset of everything (empty set)

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

Or in set notation: A={1,2,3,4,5} B={1,4} C={1,2,3,4,5} D={1,3,5} B,C,D are all subsets of A

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

in fact A is a subset of C and C is a subset of A, because they are the same thing. Every set is its own subset
