What are some applications of sets & relations in science/business/tech that a highschooler can understand?

To kindle a young mind, what examples can be given?

    There probably aren't any. The application of sets and relations is that by studying these things you learn how to reason, and reasoning comes in handy in science etc.2012-01-14

    I'll throw out a similarly strong contrary position and say there are many applications, particularly in the area of programming as I've detailed a bit below.2012-01-15
