Venn Diagrams

This article will help the students to learn more about Venn Diagrams in brief and will also provide an extensive knowledge about Venn Diagrams outside mathematics.

Coinciding circles or shapes which are used to showcase the probable connection between a few arrays of items is called Venn Diagrams. Venn Diagrams are generally used to represent things graphically and showcase the similarity and differences between the items.

Venn Diagrams are also termed as Set or Logic Diagrams, which is used frequently in a lot of subjects such as Mathematics, Logic, Statistics, Computer Science, etc. John Venn was the person who introduced Venn Diagrams to the world.

Venn Diagrams

As discussed above we have a brief introduction about Venn Diagrams and here are some of the benefits and purposes of Venn Diagrams:

  • Visual Organization of Information: Venn Diagrams showcases the similarities and differences between a few sets of items. This is used a lot by students, teachers and professors to create a link and find the logic behind the given items in the particular set.
  • Analysing two or more items: Venn Diagrams helps us to analyse how the items are familiar versus the differences. This is also used to help in choosing between products and services.
  • It helps to solve complicated mathematical problems
  • Comparing Data Sets: It helps to compare data sets and find correlations.

For Example: 

Set = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13}; 

A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 7}; B = {3, 4, 5, 6}; C = {4, 6, 7, 8, 9}

Venn Diagram Implication

There are a lot of Venn Diagram Implications such as:

  • Mathematics: Venn Diagrams are more frequently used in Mathematics by teachers in schools to explain topics like unions, sets and intersections. Venn Diagrams are also majorly used to solve complex questions in advanced maths.
  • Statistics/Probability: Venn Diagram is used in order to predict the likeliness of occurrence of some situations. Data sets get compared in order to find out the extent of similarities and differences.
  • Logic: Venn Diagram also helps to find out the soundness of some theories and determine its conclusion.
  • Linguistics: This can also be used in order to find and study the similarity and differences between different languages.
  • Computer Science: Venn Diagrams is also used by programmers to envision the programming languages and its pecking order.
  • Business: Venn Diagrams are also used to evaluate and compare the products and services. 

These were a few implications of Venn Diagrams.

Types of Venn Diagram

There are basically four types of Venn Diagrams which are:

  • Venn Diagram of two sets: The simplest type of Venn Diagram is the Venn diagram that comprises two circles showcasing two sets and their coinciding properties.
  • Venn Diagram of three sets: These Venn Diagrams comprises three sets. Three circles are used in order to showcase this type of Venn diagram and the similarities between the particular sets.
  • Venn Diagrams of four sets: These Venn Diagrams comprise four sets. Four circles are used in order to showcase this type of Venn diagram and the similarities between the particular sets.
  • Venn Diagram of five sets: These Venn Diagrams comprise five sets. Five circles are used in order to showcase this type of Venn diagram and the similarities between the particular sets. Three set Venn diagrams can be used with repeating circles to make a five set Venn Diagram.

Conclusion

Venn Diagram is a very interesting topic to study and it helps to figure out and find the similarities and differences between some sets. It also helps to do extensive research and visualize a particular set of information about two or more items. Hence Venn Diagrams makes problem-solving sets easier and more interesting to work with. It also helps the business to analyse its strategy and on what products or services it should concentrate more on.
