Answer

$A$ $X$ $B$={(course, professor) | course $\in$ A and professor $\in$ B}

Work Step by Step

A=Courses offered by Mathematics Department B=Mathematics professors By the definition of Cartesian Product: $A$ $X$ $B$={(course, professor) | course $\in$ A and professor $\in$ B} Example- If the university offers only the mathematics courses Calculus and Differential Equation and if the university has only mathematics professor Ankita and Himanshu. A={Calculus, Differential Equation} B={Ankita, Himanshu} $A$ $X$ $B$={(Calculus,Ankita), (Differential Equation,Ankita),(Calculus,Himanshu), (Differential Equation,Himanshu)} This cartesian productcould be used to determine all the possible ways in which they have the mathematics professor teaching mathematics courses that the university offers.
