    Logic Sets
In summary, a set is a collection of objects or elements that share a common characteristic or property. A subset is a set that contains only a portion of the elements from the original set. The universal set is the set that contains all possible elements that are being considered in a particular context or problem. The intersection of sets is the set that contains all elements that are common to both sets being compared. The complement of a set is the set that contains all elements that are not part of the set being considered.

I need to compare and contrast the two, but I have read so much info that it is running together in my head. How can I find a good website to lay it out in easier words to help me understand the difference and likeness of the two?
Thanks so much

Quite briefly, sets are a way of representating things in logic and other areas of mathematics. It's not really a matter of difference and likeness.

Unfortunately we do not help with finding websites. That's what Google is for. :)

Hi Amber,

I understand that you are having trouble understanding the difference and similarities between sets and logic. I can suggest a few ways to help you better understand these concepts.

First, it might be helpful to review the basic principles and definitions of sets and logic. Sets are collections of objects or elements, while logic is the study of reasoning and argumentation. In mathematics and science, logic is often used to make deductions and conclusions based on given information or assumptions.

To compare and contrast sets and logic, you can start by identifying their similarities and differences. For example, both sets and logic involve the use of symbols and notation to represent concepts and relationships. However, sets focus on the relationships between elements within a collection, while logic focuses on the relationships between statements and arguments.

To find a good website that explains these concepts in simpler terms, I suggest searching for educational websites or tutorials that are specifically designed for students learning about sets and logic. Additionally, you can also reach out to your teacher or professor for additional resources or clarification on specific topics.

Finally, I recommend practicing with examples and exercises to solidify your understanding of sets and logic. This will help you apply the concepts in a practical way and better understand their similarities and differences.

I hope this helps, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions. Good luck with your studies!

Best,
