Sets are not determined by algebraic expressions: they are simply collections of elements. The only requirement is that given any element, it is possible to decide whether or not it belongs to the set.

The following, for example, is a set: {yellow, 7.9, April, moon, happy, squirrel}. It is a set of six things (words) I though of while writing this answer. No algebraic expressions will explain the meaning of that set.

What is the importance of set?

The simple answer is, everything in mathematics -- numbers, functions, relations, algebraic structures, geometric figures, infinite sequences and series, etc. -- can be defined in terms of sets. And their properties can be proved from the axioms of set theory. There's more to it than that, but that's a start.
