Homework Equations

I know what the \bigcup or \bigcap notation means in sets and subsets, but not in sequences and summations.

The Attempt at a Solution

I don't need it explained, I simply need to know what the \bigcup and \bigcap stands for so I can read up on them. Thanks guys. I can also upload the pdf attachment if needed.

\bigcup - union - A₁ U A₂ U ... U A_n
\bigcap - intersection - same as above but with the intersection symbol
