De Morgan's Laws. For sets A, B, C:
the complement of a union is the intersection of complements,
the complement of an intersection is the union of complements,
and the analogous identities for set differences:
A \ (B ∪ C) = (A \ B) ∩ (A \ C) and A \ (B ∩ C) = (A \ B) ∪ (A \ C).
Basic set relations. A ⊆ B means every element of A lies in B;
A = B is equivalent to mutual inclusion A ⊆ B and B ⊆ A; and
A ⊂ B (proper subset) is equivalent to A ⊆ B together with A ≠ B.
