Example of Equivalence Relation
Let $P$ be the set of people.
Let $\sim$ be the relation on $P$ defined as:
- $\forall \tuple {x, y} \in P \times P: x \sim y \iff \text { $x$ and $y$ were born in the same year}$
Then the elements of the equivalence class of $x \in P$ is:
- $\eqclass x \sim = \set {\text {All people born in the same year as $x$} }$
