Thursday, 15 February 2005 • Homeworks • HW 3 returned today • HW 3: Average 82.3 • A lot of missing HW 3’s – check your grades on Toolkit • HW 6: Due today (Rosen, section 1.4: 12, 22, 33, 40) • HW 7: Due Tue (19 Feb) (Rosen, section 1.5: 10, 22, 34, 55) • HW 8: Due Tue (26 Feb) (Rosen, section 1.8: 17, 36, 61, 64) • Regrades for homeworks • Form is on the website, and I have copies on me • Must be within a 10 days • Reading for Tuesday: 2.4 • Review sessions: Tue from 9-11 p.m. and Wed from 7-10 p.m. • Exam: one week from this Thursday • Will cover all of chapter 1 (sections 1.1-1.8) • What is not on the reference sheet: • Universal/existential generalization/instantiation • Last semester’s exam is posted on the website • It only covered 1.1-1.7 • And it was a 50 minute exam, not a 75 minute exam

  18. Proof by contradiction example 2 • Rosen, section 1.5, question 21 (b) • Prove that if n is an integer and n3+5 is odd, then n is even • Rephrased: If n3+5 is odd, then n is even • Thus, p is “n3+5” is odd, q is “n is even” • Assume p and q • Assume that n3+5 is odd, and n is odd • Since n is odd: • n=2k+1 for some integer k (definition of odd numbers) • n3+5 = (2k+1)3+5 = 8k3+12k2+6k+6 = 2(4k3+6k2+3k+3) • As n = 2(4k3+6k2+3k+3) is 2 times an integer, n must be even • Thus, we have concluded q • Contradiction! • We assumed q was false, and showed that this assumption implies that q must be true • As q cannot be both true and false, we have reached our contradiction

  19. A note on that problem… • Rosen, section 1.5, question 21 • Prove that if n is an integer and n3+5 is odd, then n is even • Here, our implication is: If n3+5 is odd, then n is even • The indirect proof proved the contrapositive: ¬q → ¬p • I.e., If n is odd, then n3+5 is even • The proof by contradiction assumed that the implication was false, and showed that led to a contradiction • If we assume p and ¬q, we can show that implies q • The contradiction is q and ¬q • Note that both used similar steps, but are different means of proving the implication

  20. How the book explains proof by contradiction • A very poor explanation, IMHO • Suppose q is a contradiction (i.e. is always false) • Show that ¬p→q is true • Since the consequence is false, the antecedent must be false • Thus, p must be true • Find a contradiction, such as (r¬r), to represent q • Thus, you are showing that ¬p→(r¬r) • Or that assuming p is false leads to a contradiction

  21. Tuesday, 22 February 2005 • Homeworks • HW 7: Due today • HW 8: Due next Tue (1 Mar) (Rosen, section 1.8: 17, 36, 61, 64) • HW 9: Due next Thu (3 Mar) (Rosen, section 2.4: 18, 34, 40, 52) • Regrades for homeworks • Form is on the website • Must be within a 10 days • Reading for next Tuesday: 2.6 • Review sessions: today from 9-11 p.m. and Wed from 7-10 p.m. • Both are in Olsson 005 • Exam: this Thursday • Will cover all of chapter 1 (sections 1.1-1.8) • 3 proofs, 3 pages of short-answer • What is not on the reference sheet: • Universal/existential generalization/instantiation • Last semester’s exam is posted on the website • It only covered 1.1-1.7 • And it was a 50 minute exam, not a 75 minute exam • About returning the exams (and posting of the grades)
