Question

Can anyone explain me how set theories are relevant to real life situations? Thank you

Answer 1

Set theory is actually probably one of the least applicable branches of mathematics in real life. Some set theory (mostly naive set theory) is essential to understanding upper-level mathematics, though, and upper-level mathematics can be very relevant, so you get there indirectly.

Answer 2

Well, basic ability to think about sets is practical. After your couple of class sessions though, it's super theoretical.

Answer 3

first couple*

Answer 4

I'm been hearing that a lot even from a math teacher that has been teaching for 30 yrs. Right now is very theoretical for me I barely understand the concept and more if I have to teach about it.

Answer 5

I had the same situation happen with my Modern Algebra course. I asked about applications the first day, and he said that there weren't many, besides their applications to higher levels of mathematics.

Answer 6

so how can you apply set theory? give me an example I'm trying to really understand this concept using real life situations.
