Assignment 1
Wednesday, January 21, 2009
|
Problems 0.4, 0.9, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18
Please be careful to
write clear and complete proofs to answer these 5 exercises. Your
proofs should make logical sense and be something that any BC math
major could pick up and read and understand. (My typed answers
for this assignment, which I will put on this web page after the HW is
handed in, are 1 1/2 pages total. You can be complete and
succinct at the same time.)

Assignment 2
Wednesday, January 28, 2009
|
Problems 1.3, 1.4, 1.5,
1.6, 1.9
Problems 2.1, 2.4c, 2.5, 2.8, 2.10
Problems 3.4, 3.5, 3.9, 3.11, 3.12
Important Note: For these and all future problems, please be sure
to explain and justify your
answers, and not just to answer the question without
explanation. For example, in problem 1.3, if * is not a binary
operation, explain why it is not. This is done by indicating why the
definition on page 10 fails to be satisfied. In problems 1.4 and
1.5 explain your answers. For each part of problem 1.6, either
explain why * is commutative or else give a counterexample to show that
it is not, and similarly for associative. In problem 1.9,
justify your answers. Similarly for the problems in Sections 2
and 3.
