Set notation

When defining a set, something is normally put between curly braces. There are a few different conventions for what can go inside:


 * All the elements of the set, separated by commas: \( \{a,b,c, \ldots\} \)
 * Set-builder notation: a name for a general element of the set, then a condition that all elements must satisfy, with either a vertical bar or a colon in between: \( \{ x \mid P(x) \} \) or \( \{ x : P(x) \} \).

Piper H asks, in the notation \( \{ a_1, a_2, \ldots \} \), where the elements inside are a sequence, are you making an implicit claim that the elements are countable?
