Formulation F11439 on D180: Quotient set
F11439
Formulation 1
Let $X$ be a D11: Set such that
(i) ${\sim} \subseteq X \times X$ is an D178: Equivalence relation on $X$
The quotient set of $X$ modulo ${\sim}$ is the D11: Set \begin{equation} X / {\sim} : = \left\{ \{ y : (x, y) \in {\sim} \} : x \in X\right \} \end{equation}
