why the symbols for union and intersection of two sets are U and ∩ resp.

Question

anonymous · Answer

Well for logical AND and OR we have $\wedge$ and $\vee$ and we see that $A \cap B$ is really like saying $\{x ; x \in A \text{  AND  } x \in B\}$ and we see that $A \cup B$ is really like saying $\{x; x \in A \text{  OR  } x \in B\}$

anonymous · Answer

I suppose you are still left with the question of why the logical operators are the way they are. To be honest I dont quite know. But I always look at $\wedge$ for instance and it looks a bit like an A and since its AND that makes a bit of sense.
