MIDTERM INSTRUCTIONS

Recall the midterm is on Wednesday February 3 instead of the lecture.  

General rules:  No electronic devices of any kind and no books/notes are allowed.

There will be four problems, each worth 5 points. Please see the information on grading of the exam.

The four problems will be on the following topics:
1. Propositional logic: Ability to manipulate expressions with propositional connectives (negations, contrapositives, etc)
2. Expressing mathematical statements rigorously using propositional connectives and quantifiers.
3. Simple direct/indirect proofs and proofs by contradiction.
4. A proof by simple induction, i.e. the induction step of the form P(n) ==> P(n+1)

Strong induction will not be on the midterm.
