Cartesian product of a set Question:
What is A $\times$ A , where A = {0, $\pm$1, $\pm$2, ...} ?
Thinking:
Is this a set say B = {0, 1, 2, ... } ? 
This was in my homework can you help me ?

If this is your set theory homework you might want to know why it is a set. Well where did this notation $A \times A$ come from? Assuming you are working with ZFC, the cross product doesn't seem to be in the list of axioms. Instead, the cross product is defined using these axioms to mean precisely the set $\{(a,b) \mid a,b \in A\}$. So... by definition of the cross product we have $A \times A$ is a set (assuming $A$ itself is a set). Don't go down the path of "It's a set because I can write it as $\{a,b,c,...\}$". Doing so might lead you to think some things are sets which aren't!
Similarly you might ask what $(a,b)$ means... and that too is defined in terms of the ZFC axioms. Make sure you ask these questions (and answer them!) earlier rather than later.
Oh, and note that your original collection $A$ is in fact a set. If you guys didn't establish this in class then you might consider trying it for yourself. On the other hand, your teacher may want you to assume it is a set (for now, until you later show it to be a set rigorously).
