    Logic Sets
AI Thread Summary
Sets serve as a foundational concept in logic and mathematics, representing collections of objects. The discussion emphasizes that the comparison between sets and logic is more about their interrelation than distinct differences. Understanding sets can enhance comprehension of logical structures, as they often underpin logical reasoning. The request for simplified resources highlights the need for accessible explanations in mathematical concepts. Overall, the conversation underscores the importance of grasping the role of sets in logical frameworks.

I need to compare and contrast the two, but I have read so much info that it is running together in my head. How can I find a good website to lay it out in easier words to help me understand the difference and likeness of the two?
Thanks so much

Quite briefly, sets are a way of representating things in logic and other areas of mathematics. It's not really a matter of difference and likeness.

Unfortunately we do not help with finding websites. That's what Google is for. :)
 

Thread 'Family of lines that are at a distance of 5 from the origin'

I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...

Thread 'Making the denominator of a certain fraction real'

Essentially I just have this problem that I'm stuck on, on a sheet about complex numbers: Show that, for ##|r|<1,## $$1+r\cos(x)+r^2\cos(2x)+r^3\cos(3x)...=\frac{1-r\cos(x)}{1-2r\cos(x)+r^2}$$ My first thought was to express it as a geometric series, where the real part of the sum of the series would be the series you see above: $$1+re^{ix}+r^2e^{2ix}+r^3e^{3ix}...$$ The sum of this series is just: $$\frac{(re^{ix})^n-1}{re^{ix} - 1}$$ I'm having some trouble trying to figure out what to...
