set comparison between two polynyms

Plearning ⊥ Pcivilization


Equality

$$A \neq B$$
A is not equal to B

Subset

$$A \not\subseteq B$$
A is not a subset of or equal to B

Superset

$$A \not\supseteq B$$
A is not a superset of or equal to B

Intersection

$$A \cap B =$$
{ }

Union

$$A \cup B =$$
{ avoidant, collaborative, competitive, dependent, galactic, independent, participative, planetary, stellar }

Symmetric Difference

$$A \ominus B =$$
{ avoidant, collaborative, competitive, dependent, galactic, independent, participative, planetary, stellar }

Difference

$$A - B =$$
{ avoidant, collaborative, competitive, dependent, independent, participative }

Difference

$$B - A =$$
