Partition Of A Set

In mathematics, a partition of a set X is a division of X into non-overlapping and non-empty "parts" or "blocks" or "cells" that cover all of X. More formally, these "cells" are both collectively exhaustive and mutually exclusive with respect to the set being partitioned.

Famous quotes containing the word set:

    “There one that ruffled in a manly pose
    For all his timid heart, there that slow man,
    That meditative man, John Synge, and those
    Impetuous men, Shawe-Taylor and Hugh Lane,
    Found pride established in humility,
    A scene well set and excellent company.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
