Overview

An ordered pair of x and y, denoted \langle x, y \rangle, is defined as: \langle x, y \rangle = \{\{x\}, \{x, y\}\}. We define the first coordinate of \langle x, y \rangle to be x and the second coordinate to be y.

%%ANKI Basic How is an ordered pair of x and y denoted? Back: \langle x, y \rangle Reference: Herbert B. Enderton, Elements of Set Theory (New York: Academic Press, 1977).

%%ANKI Basic What property must any satisfactory definition of \langle x, y \rangle satisfy? Back: x and y, along with their order, are uniquely determined. Reference: Herbert B. Enderton, Elements of Set Theory (New York: Academic Press, 1977).

END%%

%%ANKI Basic Which of ordered pairs or sets is more general? Back: Sets.

%%ANKI Basic What biconditional is used to prove the well-definedness of \langle x, y \rangle? Back: (\langle x, y \rangle = \langle u, v \rangle) \Leftrightarrow (x = u \land y = v) Reference: Herbert B. Enderton, Elements of Set Theory (New York: Academic Press, 1977).

Given two sets A and B, the Cartesian product A \times B is defined as: $A \times B = \{\langle x, y \rangle \mid x \in A \land y \in B\}$
