UNIT 1 : SETS
No. Vocabulary & Parts of speech Thai Definition Sentence
1 well-defined (adj.) แจ่มแจ้ง, อย่างชัดเจน The term “well defined” means that the collection is described in such a way that we can determine whether any given object belongs to that collection.
2 roster form (n.) เซตแบบแจกแจง
3 set builder form (n.) เซตแบบบอก เงื่อนไข In the roster form, all elements of the set are listed, the elements being separated by a comma (“,”) and are enclosed within braces (“{ }”). For example : the set representing scores of three students can be a set of three numbers, one of which is repeated as S = {80, 90, 70}.
In the set builder form, all the elements of the set are often characterized by a common property. For example : in the set {a, e, i, o, u} all the elements possess a common property - each of them is a vowel in the English alphabet, and no other alphabet possesses this property. Denoting this set by V, we write V = {x | x is a vowel in the English alphabet}.
