... • Example: Prove or disprove that “For every positive integer n, n! n2.” – Start testing some cases say, n = 1, 2, 3 etc. – It might seem like it is true for some cases but how far do you test, say n = 4. – We get n! = 24 and n2 = 16 which is a counter example for this theorem. Hence, even finding ...

... f(m) = m/2 and f(n) = n/2, it follows that f(m)=f(n) implies m=n. Let m and n be two odd natural numbers, then f(m) = ‐(m‐1)/2 and f(n) = ‐(n‐1)/2, it follows that f(m)=f(n) implies m=n. Therefore, f is injective. We now show that f is surjective by case analysis on the sign of some integer ...

... n - 3 k | n - k + l whence also n - 3k j 3(n - k + 1) - (n - 3k) o r n - 3k | 2n + 3. If we then take 2n + 3 = prime we again obtain a useful theorem. It seems clear from just these samples that the theorems of Hermite can suggest quite a variety of divisibility theorems, some of which may lead to c ...
