, the closed intervals [0, 1] and [1, 2] are almost disjoint, because their intersection is the finite set {1}. However, the unit interval [0, 1] and the set of rational numbers Q are not almost disjoint, because their intersection is infinite.
This definition extends to any collection of sets. A collection of sets is pairwise almost disjoint or mutually almost disjoint if any two "distinct" sets in the collection are almost disjoint. Often the prefix "pairwise"
