Ok, I am a little rusty on this Math thing¡ Please help.
Except(b) Intersect Except(c) Intersect Except(d) = I- (b Union c Union d)
Is this correct? Does it make sense at all? Thank you very much. My mind is very clouded lately, I can¡¯t think straight.

I think it should be = I ¨C B union C union D ¨C B n C n D.
But don't quote me on this, my math has been settled in a lifetime mortgage payment back to professor starting two decades ago.

I vaguely remember something like is but I thought:
Except(B) n Except (C) = Except (B u C) = I ¨C (B u C)
Isn't it correct?

Okay, why not get hands dirty for a moment,
E (B) n E (C) n E (D) =
(I ¨C B) n (I ¨C C ) n ( I ¨C D) =
(I ¨C B ¨C C + BnC ) n ( I ¨C D) =
I ¨C B ¨C C + BnC ¨C D + BnD + CnD ¨C BnCnD =
I ¨C (B + C + D ¨C BnC ¨C BnD ¨C CnD + BnCnD) =
I ¨C BuCuD
Seems you were right in the first post, so I apologize for the unwarranted challenge. Now that the dull mathematical diversion has blown away the sweet cappuccino flavor from the lovely caf¨¦, I suspect we'll be the next two soon to be kicked out of here.

Hee hee, I think a little bit of math would not be too bad for cafe, just like a little minty flavor in the coffee. Thanks for working it through with me.

To see why it is so rather than to deduce, steal a Venn diagram. The gray area should be what's referred in the formula. Math is fun only if I can 'see' it, even if in my mind's eye, houhou.

haha, I'd rather deduce by reader2's way much than 'see' that chart, actually, I try double time to understand that vene's instinct pic.
If all person here had reached the same or above level like here but not like at that savage valley field. - Re: Need help on Maths, pleaseposted on 03/10/2006
You are right. This is called De Morgen's Laws.
