... You MUST simplify completely and BOX all answers with an INK PEN. You are allowed to use only this paper and pen/pencil. No calculators. No books, no notebooks, no web access. You MUST write your name and UCLA id. Except for the last problem, you MUST write out your logical reasoning and/or proof in ...

... Introduction and examples 2.1.1. we introduce a fundamental technique in solving combinatorial problems. In order to count the elements of a certain set, we replace them with those of another set that has the same number of elements and whose elements are more easily counted. Let A and B be finite s ...

Prime Numbers
... A mathematical proof is as a carefully reasoned argument to convince a sceptical listener (often yourself) that a given statement is true. Both discovery and proof are integral parts of problem solving. When you think you have discovered that a certain statement is true, try to figure out why it is ...

... p ≤ a ≤ n, and since p a and a n, then p n also. Before the advent of the computer, one of the most efficient methods of constructing tables of primes was the sieving process, invented by the Greek mathematician Eratosthenes (276-194 B.C.). The method is called the Sieve of Eratosthenes. We il ...

... Corollary 7: At most one number in a sequence of consecutive /2-riven numbers is congruent to -1 modulo n-l. Proof: Let a < b be numbers in a sequence of consecutive driven numbers with a = b = - 1 (mod fi-1). By Lemma 6, £ w (a)\(n-l). But this means that («-2)|(w-1), which is impossible for n > 4. ...
