\supset and \Supset

Introduction

The \supset and \Supset commands are part of the TeX/LaTeX typesetting system. They are used to produce the superset symbol (∋) which represents the "superset of" relationship, indicating that one set contains another.

Usage

The \supset command is used to generate a smaller-sized superset symbol, while the \Supset command produces a larger-sized superset symbol.

To use these commands in your LaTeX document, follow these steps:

1. Include the amssymb package in the preamble of your document by adding \usepackage{amssymb}.

2. After you have included the package, you can use the \supset command to generate the smaller-sized superset symbol (∋) and the \Supset command to create the larger-sized superset symbol (⋑).

Examples

Below are some examples of how to use the \supset and \Supset commands:

Example 1: Smaller-sized superset symbol

To produce the smaller-sized superset symbol (∋), use the following code:

\(A \supset B\)

This will produce the following output: (A \supset B)

Example 2: Larger-sized superset symbol

To generate the larger-sized superset symbol (⋑), use the \Supset command:

\(A \Supset B\)

This will produce the following output: (A \Supset B)

Conclusion

The \supset and \Supset commands in LaTeX allow programmers to produce the superset symbol (∋) with different sizes. Remember to include the amssymb package in your document's preamble before using these commands.
