Editing Union (set theory) (section)

=== Finite unions ===
One can take the union of several sets simultaneously.  For example, the union of three sets ''A'', ''B'', and ''C'' contains all elements of ''A'', all elements of ''B'', and all elements of ''C'', and nothing else. Thus, ''x'' is an element of ''A'' ∪ ''B'' ∪ ''C'' if and only if ''x'' is in at least one of ''A'', ''B'', and ''C''.

A '''finite union''' is the union of a finite number of sets; the phrase does not imply that the union set is a [[finite set]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=u06-BAAAQBAJ|title=Set Theory: With an Introduction to Real Point Sets|last=Dasgupta|first=Abhijit|date=2013-12-11|publisher=Springer Science & Business Media|isbn=9781461488545|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Finite Union of Finite Sets is Finite |url=https://proofwiki.org/wiki/Finite_Union_of_Finite_Sets_is_Finite |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140911224545/https://proofwiki.org/wiki/Finite_Union_of_Finite_Sets_is_Finite |archive-date=11 September 2014 |access-date=29 April 2018 |website=ProofWiki}}</ref>
