Before going further inside the set theory, it is worth introducing the notations for them.
Sets are typically denotated by an italic capital letter, like $A$, $B$, $C$ etc.

We denotate that an element is a member of a given set with the $\in$ symbol: given the previous set $A$, we write that
We denote that an element is a member of a given set with the $\in$ symbol: given the previous set $A$, we write that

This can be read as 1 is a member of set $A$, or 1 is inside set $A$.
The symbol $\notin$ is the opposite of the $\in$ symbol, it denotates an element that is not a member of a given set: given the previous set $A$, we write that
