    • In set theory, a universal set is a set which contains all objects, including itself. [1] In set theory as usually formulated, the conception of a universal set leads to Russell's paradox and is consequently not allowed. However, some non-standard variants of set theory include a universal set.

    • QUOTE: The universal set [math]\displaystyle{ U }[/math] is the largest set in given context that is; the universal set is the totality of the elements under consideration. Denoted by the capital letter, [math]\displaystyle{ U }[/math] is normally written with the upper bars, [math]\displaystyle{ U }[/math] or a tail, [math]\displaystyle{ U }[/math] to be it distinguishable from the union symbol, [math]\displaystyle{ \cup }[/math].
