In the naive set theory of the nineteenth century, the term universal set referred to the set of all sets. If one was doing set theory with objects that were not sets (these are sometimes called urelements), those were included in the universal set as well. However, Bertrand Russell and others discovered that this concept leads to paradoxes, such as the set of all sets not members of themselves (the universal set being a member of itself), which is a member of itself if it is not, and not a member of itself if it is. So axiomatic set theories were developed to hopefully avoid these paradoxes. It was also discovered that urelements are not necessary to do set theory that can be used as the basis of all areas of mathematics.
In a more limited context, the term universal set or universe of discourse is used to refer to the set of things being discussed and studied. For example, in the area of the mathematical study of integers (positive and negative whole numbers), the set of all integers is the universe of discourse. This seems to be harmless in that it does not lead to paradoxes, as far as is known.

What is universal set in math in short answer?
It is the set of "everything".
What universal sets in math?
The universal set is the set containing each and every element under consideration.
Universal set minus null set is equal to?
Universal set.
How do you solve math in bengali?
Math is a universal language. It is performed the same everywhere.
How can the universe exist if there is no universal set?
"Universe" and "universal set" are two unrelated concepts.
What is a empty set in math?
An empty set in math is called a null set.
What is universal set?
A universal set is a set that contains all the elements under consideration for a particular discussion or problem. It is used in set theory to define the range of possibilities within a given context.
How many subsets are there in universal set?
If the universal set contains N elements then it has 2N subsets.
Is a null set is always a part of a universal set?
Yes. A null set is always a subset of any set. Also, any set is a subset of the [relevant] universal set.
Is math the same universal?
No. Math is relative to you, your location and frame of reference. Our math is limited to what we understand and can compute. Math is greater than what we know, or can know.
How do you determine the number of subsets in relation to the universal set?
If the universal set, U, has N elements then it has 2N subsets.
What is complement of a set means?
The complement of a set refers to the elements that are not included in that set but are part of a larger universal set. For example, if the universal set is all natural numbers and set A consists of even numbers, the complement of set A would be all the odd numbers within the universal set. Mathematically, the complement of set A is often denoted as A'.
