Sets

Definition
A set is a collection of explicitly-defined distinct elements.
 

Elements of a Set
If 2, 4, 6, 8 are elements of A, we can then write

$A = \{0, ~ 2, ~ 4, ~ 6, ~ 8\}$

or it can be written using the set-builder notation

$A = \{x ~ : ~ x \text{ is an even digit} \}$

read as "A is the set of all x such that x is an even digit".
