Set Theory as a Framework for Computer Applications

A set can be a collection of any type of object ranging from people to places to things. Basic set theory includes the study of subsets, proper subsets, finite and infinite sets, and the logical operations on them. Set theory plays a foundational role in mathematical processes and ideas and also has parallels to processes and ideas in computer engineering. This Discussion looks at two applications of the set theory to programming and databases.

Initial Post: Choose one of the topics below.

Discussion Topic 1: Relational Databases: The relational database model was created by E.F. Codd in 1969 and is founded on set theory and logic. A relational database stores data in tables as well as relationships among these tables.

Discussion Topic 2: Object Oriented Programming: Object Oriented Programming (OOP) is a type of programming paradigm that uses “objects” defined by both attributes and functions. Programmers can create instances of these objects and furthermore relationships between them for many different applications. Set theory has similar characteristics to object oriented programming.

Instructions for initial post:

Write a college-level essay of your chosen topic in your own words that highlights the similarities and differences between key concepts of this topic and the concepts of sets. Some questions you can include are:

·         How are the concepts of sets utilized?

·         How are (proper and regular) subsets characterized?

·         How are relationships described?

The essay should include a cover sheet and reference sheet as well as at least three pages double-spaced in 12 point Times New Roman font.

Every piece of writing should have an introduction, body, and conclusion. A good way to plan this particular reflective essay is to write an introduction to the essay. Next, write at least three body paragraphs and address each of the points listed above. End your essay with a conclusion paragraph tying all of your ideas together.

You are expected to use outside resources for this essay. Cite outside sources in proper APA format. You can find numerous APA resources in the Writing Center Writing Reference Library on the Research, Citation, and Plagiarism page.

First Response to a Classmate: Read through a classmate’s initial post on the SAME topic that you choose and review the sites that they have shared. Further the math conversation by giving an example of how a Venn diagram could be used to visualize some of the concepts related to this topic. You may use the software of your choice for the Venn diagram. A few online options are creatly.com or cosketch.com. Also, Paint, Word, or PPT also work and can be saved as an image or file. Share the image as an attachment or as a link.

Discussion Requirements

Throughout this course, you will respond to other people’s opinions and comments by participating in the Discussion Boards. It is helpful to complete your Reading prior to answering the Discussion topics.

The complete Discussion topics can be found by clicking on the Discussion content item in the menu to the left under this unit. Be sure to answer one of the provided questions, comment on at least two of your classmates' posts, and engage one another in discussion.

Discussion Board grading rubrics include points for posts which “…contribute to the quality of the discussion." In order to earn full credit, students are strongly encouraged to post by Saturday night so that posts will engage other students and provide a quality contribution. Be sure your post is grammatically correct, has been spell checked, and you have fully answered the question.
