... Proof. To prove that 2 is an irrational number, p we want to show that there is no pair of integers a and b so that a/b = 2. To prove this, we begin by assuming nothing more than that there does exist such a pair of integers; we will then show that this assumption leads to a contradiction. Any assum ...

2. Primes Primes. • A natural number greater than 1 is prime if it
... Nowadays, there are programs that compute the number of primes less than n, denoted π(n), for increasingly large values of n and print out the proportion: π(n)/n. If we examine the results, we notice that the proportion of primes slowly goes downward. That is, the percentage of numbers less than a m ...

Prove that the Cut rule is admissible for the LK . (Difficult!) A bi-implication is a formula of the form A ⇐⇒ B, and it is an equivalence whe ...
