Click For Summary
The discussion centers on confirming the correctness of an answer related to set-builder notation, specifically involving the set of integers, ℤ. Participants clarify that the notation used is standard, although some express confusion over the representation of calculations. There is a mention of a "snake" symbol used for separating calculations, which is not recognized as a standard mathematical symbol. The conversation also touches on the possibility of simplifying calculations by dividing by two directly. Overall, the participants seek clarity on notation and calculations within the context of set theory.

Written a bit strange, and assuming that ##\mathbb{Z}## is indeed the general set the ##x## are taken from, it is correct.

It's ℤ, just like you said. Thank you so much for confirming!

I think this is a fairly standard form of the set-builder notation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set-builder_notation#Examples
I meant the arrangements, not the sets. One could have also divided by two directly in the first condition. And the snake for AND is certainly not standard.

Sorry. I misunderstood what you were objecting to. Now I see that you were referring to the calculations. I assumed that the "snake" is just meant to separate the two columns of calculations, not a mathematical symbol.
