What is the difference between family of sets and indexed family of sets ??

Hey! :o Can a set in $\mathbb{R}^2$ be path-connected only when it is connected, i.e. when we know that a set is not connected then it cannot be path-connected? (Wondering) We have the sets $\displaystyle{A=\{x\in \mathbb{R}^2 : 1\leq x_1^2+x_2^2\leq 4\}}$ $\displaystyle{B=\{x\in...

In my book, the definition of surjection is given as follows: Let A and B be sets and f:A->B. The function f is said to be onto if, for each b ϵB, there is at least one a ϵ A for which f(a)=b. In other words, f is onto if R(f)=B. A function which is onto is also called a surjection or a...
