UnionDefinition 1. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of sets. The union of the sets in $\mathcal{F}$, denoted by $\cup_{A \in \mathcal{F}} A$ is the set of all elements that are in $A$ for some $A \in \mathcal{F}$. That is, $$\bigcup_{A \in \mathcal{F}} A = \{ x \in U \, | \, \exists A \in \mathcal {F}, x \in A \}.$$IntersectionDefinition 2. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of sets. The intersection of..
