Mathematical English Usage - a Dictionary

by Jerzy Trzeciak

family

[see also: collection, set

Let I be the family of all subalgebras which contain F. [Or: that contain F; you can use either that or which in defining clauses.]

The difficulty is that it is by no means clear what one should mean by a normal family.

The words collection, family and class will be used synonymously with set.
