Abstract
Before You Get Started. Come up with real-life examples of sets that behave like the ones in the above picture; for example, you might think of friends of yours that could be grouped according to certain characteristics—those younger than 20, those who are female, etc. Carefully label your picture. Make your example rich enough that all of the regions in the picture have members.
