Indeed, naive set theory might be said to be based on this notion.

The informal content of this naive set theory supports both the aspects of mathematical sets familiar in discrete mathematics ( for example Venn diagrams and symbolic reasoning about their Boolean algebra ), and the everyday usage of set theory concepts in most contemporary mathematics.

Furthermore, a firm grasp of set theoretical concepts from a naive standpoint is important as a first stage in understanding the motivation for the formal axioms of set theory.

The first development of set theory was a naive set theory.

Gottlob Frege did explicitly axiomatize a theory in which the formalized version of naive set theory can be interpreted, and it is this formal theory which Bertrand Russell actually addressed when he presented his paradox.

Informal applications of set theory in other fields are sometimes referred to as applications of " naive set theory ", but usually are understood to be justifiable in terms of an axiomatic system ( normally the Zermelo – Fraenkel set theory ).

However, the term naive set theory is also used in some literature to refer to the set theories studied by Frege and Cantor, rather than to the informal counterparts of modern axiomatic set theory ; care is required to tell which sense is intended.

In naive set theory, a set is described as a well-defined collection of objects.

The paradoxes of naive set theory can be explained in terms of the inconsistent assumption that " all classes are sets ".

: See also naive set theory for the mathematical topic.

While the title states that it is naive, which is usually taken to mean without axioms, the book does introduce all the axioms of Zermelo – Fraenkel set theory and gives correct and rigorous definitions for basic objects.

All expressions in Z notation are typed, thereby avoiding some of the paradoxes of naive set theory.

In mathematics, logic, and computer science, type theory is any of several formal systems that can serve as alternatives to naive set theory, or the study of such formalisms in general.

Bertrand Russell invented the first type theory in response to his discovery that Gottlob Frege's version of naive set theory was afflicted with Russell's paradox.

In the foundations of mathematics, Russell's paradox ( also known as Russell's antinomy ), discovered by Bertrand Russell in 1901, showed that the naive set theory created by Georg Cantor leads to a contradiction.

... with regard to race, a naive version of the evolution of consciousness, a theory foundational to both Steiner's anthroposophy and Waldorf education, sometimes places one race below another in one or another dimension of development.

In the sense of this article, a naive theory is a non-formalized theory, that is, a theory that uses a natural language to describe sets.

This article develops a naive theory.

The suggestion is naive.

Therefore a naive algorithm to calculate the estimated variance is given by the following:

While this loss of precision may be tolerable and viewed as a minor flaw of Algorithm I, it is easy to find data that reveal a major flaw in the naive algorithm: Take the sample to be ( 10 < sup > 9 </ sup > + 4, 10 < sup > 9 </ sup > + 7, 10 < sup > 9 </ sup > + 13, 10 < sup > 9 </ sup > + 16 ).

Again the estimated population variance of 30 is computed correctly by Algorithm II, but the naive algorithm now computes it as − 170. 66666666666666.

The naive algorithm is:

It is ' naive ' in that the language and notations are those of ordinary informal mathematics, and in that it doesn't deal with consistency or completeness of the axiom system.

If a naive rendering algorithm is used without any filtering, high frequencies in the image function will cause ugly aliasing to be present in the final image.

Because variants proliferate naturally, it is naive to believe that there is such a thing as the single " authentic " version of a ballad such as " Barbara Allen ".

An FFT is a way to compute the same result more quickly: computing a DFT of N points in the naive way, using the definition, takes O ( N < sup > 2 </ sup >) arithmetical operations, while an FFT can compute the same result in only O ( N log N ) operations.

The most famous parody of the Gothic is Jane Austen's novel Northanger Abbey ( 1818 ) in which the naive protagonist, after reading too much Gothic fiction, conceives herself a heroine of a Radcliffian romance and imagines murder and villainy on every side, though the truth turns out to be much more prosaic.

Finally, since the names of arguments are largely irrelevant, the naive notion of equality on lambda terms is alpha-equivalence ( see below ), which codifies this principle.

The already faded pastel charms of the naive music itself vanish entirely in Fistoulari's melodramatic contrasts between ultravehement brute power and chilly, if suave, sentimentality.

As a pioneer of a self-reflexive sociology who prefigured Bourdieu's ability to factor in the effect of reflection on the societal object, Adorno realized that some criticism ( including deliberate disruption of his classes in the 1960s ) could never be answered in a dialogue between equals if, as he seems to have believed, what the naive ethnographer or sociologist thinks of a human essence is always changing over time.

Even if these features depend on each other or upon the existence of the other features, a naive Bayes classifier considers all of these properties to independently contribute to the probability that this fruit is an apple.

If there are classes and if a model for each can be expressed in terms of parameters, then the corresponding naive Bayes model has ( k − 1 ) + n r k parameters.

Even though the total number of subproblems is actually small ( only 43 of them ), we end up solving the same problems over and over if we adopt a naive recursive solution such as this.

The children are: Franny, self-confident and brash ; John, the narrator, sweet, if naive, and enamored of Franny ; Frank, physically awkward, reserved, and homosexual ; Lilly, a small romantic girl who has " stopped growing "; and Egg, an immature little boy with a penchant for dressing up in costumes.

Marshall McLuhan, too, was opposed to the expressway and said: " Toronto will commit suicide if it plunges the Spadina Expressway into its heart ... our planners are 19th century men with a naive faith in an obsolete technology.

Green's extreme respect for her own privacy aside, she entered the lexicon of turn-of-the-century America with the popular phrase, " I'm not Hetty if I do look green ;" this phrase is quoted in O. Henry's 1890s story " The Skylight Room " when a young woman, negotiating the rent on a room in a rooming house owned by an imperious old lady, wishes to make it clear she is neither as rich as she appears nor as naive.

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team and Red Rescue Team, Eevee is available as the main protagonist, in the naive nature if the player chooses female.

Note, however, that if the sum can be performed in twice the precision, then ε is replaced by ε < sup > 2 </ sup > and naive summation has a worst-case error comparable to the O ( nε < sup > 2 </ sup >) term in compensated summation at the original precision.

The Cruise character, invariably a young and naive but naturally talented kid who could be the best, if ever he could tame his rambunctious spirit.

Ian is intelligent, if somewhat naive, and he has a very large imagination, and often gets lost in daydreams ( many of which are parodies of famous films ).

This is not different from the performative view of objectivity preferred by technoscience, leaving technoscience with a critique of a naive view of science that many, if not most, contemporary scientists would not agree with.

Unfortunately, if we implement this algorithm we discover that it's just as slow as the naive way of trying all permutations!

Smith – Waterman local similarity scores can be calculated in O ( m ) ( linear ) space if only the optimal alignment needs to be found, but naive algorithms to produce the alignment require O ( mn ) space.

This naive approach usually works best if one uses a frame field rather than a coordinate basis.

He tends toward being extremely optimistic ( if slightly naive ), and is cartoonishly well-built, resulting in his attracting a lot of attention from others, although he is often unaware of how attractive he is to both men and women ; the gang also once walked in on Sky having sex with his friend and classmate Annie after returning from the Pride parade.
