  Set theory is the mathematical theory of sets.
  
  Branch of mathematics or logic that is concerned with sets of objects and rules for their manipulation.

  Notes :

  Sets can themselves be members of other sets. It can be shown that numbers and many other mathematical objects are reducible to sets.
  
  UNION, INTERSECT and COMPLEMENT are its three primary operations and they are used in relational database as follows.
  
  It is useful to view concepts as sets because the calculus of set theory is then immediately available for manipulating and reasoning about concepts.
