This course covers basic concepts of set theory, which enable the learner to comprehend advanced concepts requiring an understanding of set theory.

This course aims to introduce fundamental concepts of set theory. It provides hands-on experience through practical tasks using Python programming language (Python 3.8) to enhance engagement.

You’ll start with the basics of sets, their properties, and set operations. Additionally, you’ll learn about relations, functions, ordering of sets, and cardinality of sets. You’ll also explore Cantor’s diagonalization method as a tool to demonstrate the uncountability of sets. 

After completing this course, you’ll have a solid understanding of the foundations of set theory that are vital for understanding many mathematics and computer science concepts, such as discrete mathematics, design of algorithms, theory of automata, and problem-solving. These concepts can also be applied in other significant areas including Physics, Statistics, and Probability.
