Many of the topics in this book are defined in terms of sets. It is essential to understand basic set theory and how it is use to define basic structures such as relation, functions, graphs and algebraic structures. We begin this chapter with some of the basic set language and notation that will be used throughout the text. We thne consider basic set operations. Venn diagrams will be introduced in order to give the reader a clear picture of these operations. In addition, we will review the binary representation of positive integers and introduce summation notation and its generalizations.

+An algorithm for determining the binary representation of a positive integer.
-Input: a positive integer n.
-Output: the binary representation of n in the form of a list of bits, with units bit last, twos bit next to last, etc.
