Subset

Definition

In mathematics, a set A is a subset of a set B if and only if all elements of A are also elements of B; B is then a superset of A. It is possible for A and B to be equal; if they are unequal, then A is a proper subset of B. The relationship of one set being a subset of another is called inclusion. A is a subset of B may also be expressed as B includes A or A is included in B. A k-subset is a subset with k elements.
