In set theory and its applications throughout mathematics, a **class** is a collection of sets (or sometimes other mathematical objects) that can be unambiguously defined by a property that all its members share. Classes act as a way to have set-like collections while differing from sets so as to ... | 553 | Class (set theory) | 0 |

## Classes in formal set theories {#classes_in_formal_set_theories}
ZF set theory does not formalize the notion of classes, so each formula with classes must be reduced syntactically to a formula without classes. For example, one can reduce the formula $A = \{x\mid x=x \}$ to $\forall x(x\in A\le... | 492 | Class (set theory) | 1 |
