Intersection

Definition

Let AA and BB be sets. The intersection of AA and BB is the set A∩B={x∈A∣x∈B}.A \cap B = \{x \in A \mid x \in B\}. So an object xx is an element of A∩BA \cap B when x∈Ax \in A and x∈Bx \in B.

Remarks

Example: {1,2}∩{2,3}={2}\{1, 2\} \cap \{2, 3\} = \{2\}. Intersection is commutative and associative, and A∩B⊆AA \cap B \subseteq A. When A∩B=∅A \cap B = \varnothing, the sets are disjoint. The intersection of a family of sets is in intersection of a family of sets.

Explanations

L1 human

The intersection keeps only what the two sets have in common. The intersection of the even numbers and the multiples of 33 is the set of multiples of 66.

What this node needs for W2
  • edge instance_of in: one example (0 of 1)
  • edge not_instance_of in: one non-example that fails one clause (0 of 1)

The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.
