Köker SigmaCebir is a .NET desktop application I developed to explore the sigma-algebra concept algorithmically over finite sets. The user supplies a sample space and a family of subsets, and the program checks whether the family satisfies the required closure properties.

## Mathematical Problem

A sigma-algebra contains the sample space and is closed under complement and countable union. For a finite sample space, those requirements can be checked through finite set operations.

The application was designed to provide more than a Boolean result. When the supplied family was incomplete, it could help expose which additional sets were required for closure.

## Set Representation

The programming problem is not only the mathematical definition. Sets entered through a user interface need a canonical internal representation. Element ordering must not make mathematically equal sets appear different, duplicate values need to be normalized, and complement/union results must be comparable with the existing family.

Buttons for mathematical symbols made the input easier to express without changing the underlying set operations.

## Retrospective

The project turned an abstract definition from probability theory into a validation algorithm. My later [Probability and Statistics](/en/probability-statistics-distributions-sampling-regression) notes place sigma-algebras in their broader mathematical context.

The archived package size was 462 KB and the recorded MD5 was `A48C77BF04F75AE336D382A4200FA7E5`.
