SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the mathematical concepts of subset relationships, specifically the notation ⊆ and ⊄. Participants confirm the correctness of the first two statements regarding intervals and provide insights into the third statement involving the power set of the empty set, P(∅). The fourth statement compares Cartesian products of sets, clarifying the elements contained within each set. The consensus is that the first two statements are accurate, while the third and fourth require careful consideration of set definitions and properties.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of set theory and subset notation
  • Familiarity with Cartesian products of sets
  • Knowledge of power sets, specifically P(∅)
  • Basic concepts of real number intervals
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of power sets, particularly P(∅)
  • Explore Cartesian products and their implications in set theory
  • Learn about interval notation and its applications in real analysis
  • Investigate the differences between subsets and proper subsets in set theory
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, students studying set theory, educators teaching mathematical concepts, and anyone interested in the foundations of mathematics.

Hi KOO! :)

The first 2 are correct.

Edit: see Evgeny.Makarov's post for the 3rd.

As for the 4th, can I assume you intended $\mathbb N \times \mathbb Z \underline{\qquad} \mathbb Z \times \mathbb N$?
If so then the left hand side has elements like (1,1) and (1,-1), while the right hand side has elements like (-1,1) and (1,1)...
 
I assume the first two questions are about intervals on the real line. Then I agree.

{∅} _____ P(∅)
Note that P(∅) = {∅}.

Good point.
Slipped on that one.
