Talk:Set

I thought that the mathematical term for a set that could contain multiple instances of an item was a bag, not a list. This also makes the recurring example somewhat confusing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User:87.113.1.89 (talk • contribs)

That is indeed true. I fixed the first reference. A List as stated is an ordered data structure. It is like a set, except that there is also an order relation. This makes it possible to say that a certain element comes before another one. --Eptalon 22:01, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Consider edits

I have made some edits to make the article easier. In particular, pretty-mark the math symbols, added simpler illustrations of sets with geometric shapes and made some other minor edits. I think it is still relevant to:

Consider moving Venn diagrams to the respective article Venn diagram.
Simplify definition of Russel paradox.
Give an example of Complement and Difference based on the cars analogy.
Add some more links to harder terminology
