(After Renee Descartes, French philosper andmathematician) The Cartesian product of two sets A and B isthe setA x B = (a, b) | a in A, b in B.I.e. the product set contains all possible combinations of oneelement from each set. The idea can be extended to productsof any number of sets.If we consider the elements in sets A and B as points alongperpendicular axes in a two-dimensional space then theelements of the product are the "Cartesian coordinates" ofpoints in that space.See also tuple.
