## Set Theory (Part 2): ZFC Axioms

<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op3WZRUKk_k>

Intro to the axioms of set theory using the Zermelo-Fraenkel with the axiom of choice (ZFC) formal system.

Showing how the union, the intersection, the empty set and the relative complement are derived or defined under this axiomatic system.

## The axiom of extensionality

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom_of_extensionality>

Subset notation:

$$\forall a . (a\in A \to a \in B) \iff A \subseteq B$$

If set A is subset of set B and B is subset of A, then A and B are equal sets i.e. they are the same set.

$$\forall A,\forall B,(\forall X,(X\in A\Rightarrow X\in B)\to A=B)$$

## The Axiom of pairing

For all sets X and Y, there is a set C which contains them as its elements. Since X and Y are sets, it means that, besides each being a member of C, each one is also a subset of C.

$$
X={a,b} \\
Y={c,d} \\
C={X,Y} = { {a,b}, {c,d} } \\
$$

$$\forall X\ \forall Y\ \exists C\ . (X \in C \land X \subseteq C) \lor (Y\in C \land Y \subseteq C)$$
