## Overview
|
|
|
|
The study of the operations of union ($\cup$), intersection ($\cap$), and set difference ($-$), together with the inclusion relation ($\subseteq$), goes by the **algebra of sets**.

## Symmetric Difference

Define the **symmetric difference** of sets $A$ and $B$ as $$A \mathop{\triangle} B = (A - B) \cup (B - A)$$

## Cartesian Product
|
|
|

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