sigma algebra

A sigma algebra (or σ-algebra) is to set algebras what sigma males are to males. The Borel hierarchy (the analog of the male hierarchy) is not a σ-algebra at any countable rank; instead the σ-algebra has the largest possible rank -- ω_1, the least uncountable ordinal (under suitable conditions e.g. the Polish space is uncountable. This is known as the non-collapse of the Borel hierarchy).

A σ-algebra is closed under countable union, countable intersection, and relative complement. This means σ-algebras arise naturally in the study of measure theory, where the measurable sets form a σ-algebra.

The algebra of Lebesgue-measurable subsets of R (i.e. the sets of real numbers with a well-defined "length", which is possibly infinity) form a sigma algebra.

an algebra

a person who's still not over their X, mentioning them any chance they get in the disguise of an equation, often displaying obsessive, stalking behaviors.

Teacher: ''Find X''
Jane: ''you're being creepy again, maybe X left for a reason''
Teacher: ''Solve Y''
Jane: ''I don't know Y X left!!!''
Teacher: ''Answer the question. NOW.''
Jane: ''I can't believe it! You're such an algebra! Stop asking me and let's have a normal conversation for once!''
