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.
