In this lesson, we are going to answer the question "What are subsets and proper subsets?"
A subset is a set whose elements are all members of another set. The symbol "⊆" means "is a subset of". The symbol "⊂" means "is a proper subset of". This video is part of our series on Set Theory Simplified.
