As sets are the building blocks of modern mathematics, I would think that every mathematical object can be represented with sets. First, is it true? Second, if it is true, how tuples can be represented without the use of tuples (ordered pairs)? I've seen a representation using functions, but functions are represented with a set of ordered pairs.
