WHAT DOES SYMMETRIC DIFFERENCE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Symmetric difference

In mathematics, the symmetric difference of two sets is the set of elements which are in either of the sets and not in their intersection. The symmetric difference of the sets A and B is commonly denoted by or or For example, the symmetric difference of the sets and is. The symmetric difference of the set of all students and the set of all females consists of all male students together with all female non-students. The power set of any set becomes an abelian group under the operation of symmetric difference, with the empty set as the neutral element of the group and every element in this group being its own inverse. The power set of any set becomes a Boolean ring with symmetric difference as the addition of the ring and intersection as the multiplication of the ring.
