If you have a set with "n" elements, you can form 2 to the power n subsets. This is because each element of the original set has two options: to be included, or not to be included, in a subset. So, for instance, for a set with four elements, you have 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 different possibilities to create subsets (2 to the power 4).Note 1: This includes the empty set, and the original set itself.

Note 2: The set of all subsets is known as the power set.

Note 3: It has been proven that the power set (of size 2 to the power n) is ALWAYS larger than the original set (of size n) - even for infinite sets. That means that the power set of an infinite set gives you a larger kind of infinity.

There can be infinitely many subsets: any collection of things or ideas can be a set, for example, {pi, green, 39, Rome, Mandela} is a set.

What is the difference between algebra and linear algebra?

Linear Algebra is a special "subset" of algebra in which they only take care of the very basic linear transformations. There are many many transformations in Algebra, linear algebra only concentrate on the linear ones. We say a transformation T: A --> B is linear over field F if T(a + b) = T(a) + T(b) and kT(a) = T(ka) where a, b is in A, k is in F, T(a) and T(b) is in B. A, B are two vector spaces.
