Algebra generated by countable family of sets is countable?

elementary-set-theory measure-theory

A member of the algebra can be written as an expression using the $A_j$ and the operations of intersection, union and complement, and thus encoded as a finite string over a finite alphabet. There are only countably many such strings.

Alternatively, induct on the number of operations.
