Concept · Foundations
A set A is a subset of a set B, written A ⊆ B, if every element of A is also an element of B; A is a proper subset if in addition A ≠ B.
Why it matters
The subset relation is how set theory expresses class inclusion, and distinguishing it from membership is essential to avoid foundational confusion.
