Background - why math symbols are used. . .

Symbols are a concise way of giving lengthy instructions related to numbers and logic.

Symbols are an invention, not a discovery. They are a communication tool. Symbols are used to eliminate the need to write long, plain language instructions to describe calculations and other processes.

Math - Null Set Symbol for Null Set (Empty Set) -
A Null Set Null Set is a set which contains nothing (no elements).
Using the Null Set Symbol Null Set Set A is inhabited, and contains the following four elements:
                 a, b, c, d.

          A = {a, b, c, d}
Set Null Set (Null Set) is empty. It contains no elements:
                 "nothing".

          Null Set = {}
The symbols Null Set and {} are equivalent to one another. They mean exactly the same thing.

Because a Null Set contains no elements, it is also called an Empty Set. The two terms are synonyms for one another.

Another term which is also used as a synonym for a null set is Negligible Set. A negligible set is any set which is so small (relative to the problem you are trying to solve) that it can be ignored.

Null Set (Null Set) is not the same as the number 0 (zero). The number 0 (zero) is a whole number.
