Introduction

It is well known that there are four basic operations in Arithmetics: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Similarly, in Set Theory, there are four operations as well, albeit not exactly like those of Arithmetics. They are intersection, union, complement and difference of sets. This tutorial will explain each of these operations illustrated with various examples.
