what does this (~) mean in set notations?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

not

OpenStudy (ash2326):

~A=not A or elements which are not in A

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

means the same as ( \(\neg\) )

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

when used like this " ~A ", is that in relativity to the universal set?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yep

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

let's say A={1,2,3...} ~A={0 and all negative integers} right?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Yes :) if A is a subset of Integers

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

interesting :) thanks!

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

if the universal set is all numbers then 1/2 is also in ~A

OpenStudy (ash2326):

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

your text is missing...

OpenStudy (ash2326):

S=integers A=(1, 2,3,4 ..) ~A=(...-2, -1, 0)

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

oh ok, thanks :) that clears things up x you guys are awesome :)

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Glad to help :)
