I have seen different notations on different books but I couldn't find anywhere what S* and S* mean, being S a set. Anyone can help?
A set is a collection of distinct objects or elements. These objects can be numbers, letters, or any other type of object.
The notation for a set is typically represented by curly braces {}. For example, the set of even numbers can be written as {2, 4, 6, 8, ...}.
The asterisk (*) in set notation is used to represent a variable or unknown element. For example, S* could represent any element in the set S.
S* represents a variable or unknown element in the set, while S represents a specific element or a specific set of elements. S* is more general and can represent any element in the set, while S is more specific and represents a defined set.
Sets and set notation are used in mathematics to define and represent collections of objects or elements. They are often used in conjunction with operations such as union, intersection, and complement to solve problems and prove theorems in various fields of mathematics.
