This lesson is all about sets and how sets relate to logic that was covered in the previous two lessons. A bunch of examples are done and many sets are shown to be equal or equivalent using logic rules as well as Venn Diagram pictures. Some great proofs are done in sets. Counting and cardinality of sets is also covered in this lecture, and some really great and interesting examples are discussed, solved, and proved. This is a fun, useful lesson.
