Covers set inclusion and equality, special sets, combinations, Venn-Euler diagrams, and laws of operations, then studies commutative, associative, distributive, and idempotent binary operations. Introduces matrices through definitions, addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, matrix types, transpose properties, multiplication laws, linear equations, determinants, inverses, and adjugates.
