The Empty Set

1.       How something with nothing in it could have a value to us?
2.       Simply put, a set that contains nothing is an empty set.
3.       What a useless concept, isn’t it?
4.       Well not really. There are many things around us, which we dislike to have with us.
5.       But we are also very shy to admit that we don’t have anything that we like.
6.       So we simply choose to say in a different way. We say that, well guys we have a set that contains everything that we like to have, but only thing is that it contains nothing as we could not find anything that we liked.
7.       Empty set is this gracious way of saying that we don’t have anything, mathematically! J
8.       There could be some rules made by us, for which there will be nothing to come in our set. So, to save our hesitation to bluntly say that we don’t have anything, we will have Empty set.
