Abstract
Most of what we did in the last two chapters was concerned with operations on two sets. In Exercise 6.14 we defined unions and intersections of three sets. In general, we may have two or three sets, as many sets as there are integers, or even more sets than that. We’ll need a new definition and special notation. In this chapter, we will introduce the notation that will allow us to keep track of these sets. Unfortunately, a rigorous definition will have to wait until Chapter 14.
