2.1.1. Introduction to Sets¶
The concept of a set in the mathematical sense is widely usde in computer science. The notations and techniques of set theory are commonly used when describing and implementing algorithms because the abstractions associated with sets often help to clarify and simplify algorithm design. So, knowing this notation helps you to communicate with other computer scientists.
