[edit intro]

Set theory is a branch of mathematics that deals with the grouping of objects into sets, the definition of membership in sets,^[1] and a range of operations on those sets, such as functions, relations, union, and intersection. Georg Cantor is usually credited with its invention.

It has a wide range of applications in computer science, where it is often considered a subset of discrete mathematics.^[2]
