Set Builder Notation?

Does anyone know the basics of set builder notation. Any tips and tricks?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
could you be more specific, because I can write a set in R by

{x in R |x>0}

which meen all numbers in R that are larger than 0, that is all positive numbers on the real line, but that doesn't help much does it?
 
All the details you need should be here;

If you still have any problems, come back and ask specifically what is not working out for you =] When the question to answer is more specific, it takes less time to answer and hence more people will be inclined to help you on it =]
