[Math] How to list elements of the set

elementary-set-theory

I'm new to set theory and I'm having trouble figuring out this problem:

If $A= \{1,2,3\} \times \{1,2,3,4\}$, list the elements of set $B = \{(m,n)∈ A\mid m>n\}$

How would I find the elements of $B$ and would I use the Cartesian product to find them?

Best Answer

For each pair in B you have to take m in {1,2,3} and n in {1,2,3,4}. In this case you have to make sure that m>n, so, for example, an element of B could be (2,1), because 2 is in {1,2,3} and 1 in {1,2,3,4} and 2>1.
