Relations, functions and equivalence

Relations as sets of pairs; reflexive, symmetric, transitive; functions and bijections.

A relation is a set of ordered pairs; an equivalence relation (reflexive, symmetric, transitive) partitions its set into classes; a function is a relation with exactly one output per input. Picture it: "same remainder mod 3" splits the integers into three columns. Think it: a bijection is how we say two sets have the same size, including infinite ones.

  2. Contingent: true for some inputs, false for others.

Imibuzo abantu bebuza

Are some infinities bigger than others?

Yes. The integers and the rationals can be listed; the real numbers cannot (Cantor's diagonal argument), so there are strictly more reals than integers.

What is the difference between a relation and a function?

A relation pairs inputs with outputs freely; a function is a relation in which every input gets exactly one output.
