Understanding Interval and Set Notation

The video tutorial introduces interval and set notation, explaining how to graphically represent inequalities on a number line. It covers interval notation, including the use of brackets and parentheses, and explains compound inequalities using union notation. The tutorial also introduces set notation, using vertical bars to denote conditions. The goal is to help students understand and transition between different notations for expressing inequalities.
