I am trying to figure out the word/operation to what is not in the intersection of two sets but is in their union.
How I am going about this now is $(A \cup B) - (A \cap B)$
Is there a better way to go about this?

$(A \cup B) - (A \cap B)$ Is called the symmetric difference and is often denoted by $ A \Delta B $
It is analogous to the logical "exclusive or" operation (as union is analogous to "or" and intersection is analogous to "and").
$(A \cap B^c)\cup (B\cap A^c)$
