A set is a group of objects that has a well defined criterion for inclusion within the group.

For example: The set of Yankee Baseball players on the 2010 roster.

This set would include Derek Jeter but not Mike Lowell ( on the hated Red Sox).

It would also not include Joe DiMaggio or Yogi Berra because they were on earlier Yankee squads.

A set can be defined by either a rule as the example above or by listing each of its members for example { Jeter, Texeira, Posada, Sabathia, Pettite, Cano, Alex Rodriquez, ..}

The number of elements that belong to a set is not a defining factor of the set but when a set has an infinite number of elements then the rules of behavior for that set are slightly different. Look up Georg Cantor for more information on infinite sets.

What is a boundary point in algebra?

In algebra, a boundary point refers to a point that marks the edge or limit of a set or region in a coordinate system. It is often associated with inequalities, where it can be included or excluded from the solution set, depending on the type of inequality used (e.g., ≤ or <). Boundary points help define the boundaries of feasible regions in graphing and optimization problems.
