Element of Set

The notation for an object being an element of a set uses a stylized form of the letter $\epsilon$:

$x \in S$, $S \owns x$

This notation was invented by Peano, from the first letter of the Greek word είναι, meaning is.


The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\in\) is \in .

The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\owns\) is \owns  or \ni.
