Correction text:
I think it's better to add a rigorous definition of multiset within the standard set theory.
Furthermore, with common notations, \{1,1,3\} is a set, and is equal to \{1,3\}.

Comment from correction handler akrowne:
Hopefully this clears things up. Let me know if there are further problems or confusions.

multiset: how to proceed by akrowne on 2004-03-30 20:13:29
My set theory book doesn't have it.

How would you suggest I reformulate it? Would it be accurate to say simply say that in the case of a multiset, {a, a, b} != {a, b} ?
