due October 3

  • Which topics and theorems do you think are the most important out of those we have studied?
    • I think the properties of sets are important because they seem to come into play in a lot of proofs. Also the stuff about odd and even numbers.
  • What kinds of questions do you expect to see on the exam?
    • I expect to see proofs with odd and even numbers, proofs with sets being even, and the three different kinds of proofs.
  • What do you need to work on understanding better before the exam? Come up with a mathematical question you would like to see answered or a problem you would like to see worked out.
    • I need to work on problems like the proof that sqrt(3) is irrational, to get down all of the steps that lead up to the contradiction. I also need to look more at congruence of integers. I think I would like to see more of the problems about how to prove that two sets are congruent, especially those that involve cross products.
