Re: Set-Builder Notation
Hi MathsisFun;
Near the bottom:
But how would you list all the Real Numbers between 2 and 6 ?
Does between include the endpoints ? As you have written here:
maybe this is correct:
What do you think?

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Re: Set-Builder Notation
Hmmm ... I was extending the concept of {2, 3, 4, 5, 6} so I may just reword it.

Re: Set-Builder Notation
Hi Maths;
Maybe saying, between 2 and 6 inclusive, might clear any ambiguity. Just a thought.
