Carroll Diagram


CarrollDiagram

A Carroll diagram is a table used to classify the members of a set according to two or more properties. For two properties, let P and Q denote subsets of an ambient set whose elements have the respective properties. The four cells then contain the elements in P intersection Q, P intersection Q^', P^' intersection Q, and P^' intersection Q^', respectively, where the primes denote set complements. Carroll diagrams are named for Lewis Carroll, who used such tables in symbolic logic (Carroll 1972).
