[[Set (mathematics)|Sets]] are fundamental objects in [[mathematics]]. Intuitively, a set is merely a collection of [[element (mathematics)|elements]] or ''members''. There are various conventions for textually denoting sets. In any particular situation, an author typically chooses from among these conventions depending on which properties of the set are most relevant to the immediate context or on which perspective is most useful.
