Intersection (set theory)

In mathematics, the intersection A ∩ B of two sets A and B is the set that contains all elements of A that also belong to B (or equivalently, all elements of B that also belong to A), but no other elements. In mathematics, the intersection A ∩ B of two sets A and B is the set that contains all elements of A that also belong to B (or equivalently, all elements of B that also belong to A), but no other elements. For explanation of the symbols used in this article, refer to the table of mathematical symbols. The intersection of two sets A and B, denoted by A ∩ B, is the set of all objects that are members of both the sets A and B.In symbols, That is, x is an element of the intersection A ∩ B if and only if x is both an element of A and an element of B.
