What is Set: Definition and 1000 Discussions

Seth, in Judaism, Christianity, Mandaeism, Sethianism, and Islam, was the third son of Adam and Eve and brother of Cain and Abel, their only other child mentioned by name in the Hebrew Bible. According to Genesis 4:25, Seth was born after Abel's murder by Cain, and Eve believed that God had appointed him as a replacement for Abel.

    Want to understand how set C contains ##N## x H. H is only defined to be a set with element e and as the domain/range of function k.

    I Definition of a "zero mapping"

    In the context of the mappings of a set S into itself, when S is not number system with a zero, what is the customary definition for "zero mapping"? ( ChatGPT says that its a mapping that maps each element of S to some single element of S , i.e. maps all elements to some constant. )
