Introduction to Detailed Notes

This is a set of notes that have been made on reading the textbook. There is no real attempt to have comments on absolutely everything in the book noted here. At the same time, there is supplementary material here that is not in the book.

In order to tie comments to specific locations in the book, I have used the available page ruler sheet to identify lines in the text. A copy of that page ruler sheet can be printed from The Index Sheet.

Chapter 6: Sets and Counting

6.1 Sets and Set Operations

402 all There is no comment on the text. It is actually pretty good. However, I do have some extra information. There is a web page, currently under development, that is meant to explain and give examples of the various aspects of sets. That page is the Sets page. This is also a worksheet on both Venn Diagrams and on Cardinality (the next section).
6.2 Cardinality
