... Since b is finite there are real numbers s and t with s < b < t. Let A = { x | x is real and x < b }. A is non-empty since it contains s and is bounded above by t. Thus there is a real number r which is the least upper bound of A. We claim r b. Suppose not. Thus r b and Hence r-b is positive or ...

Rationality and power
... / Q. Then ab is transcendental. Does there exist x ∈ R \ Q such that xx ∈ Q? As irrational powers are hard to understand, it is not immediately apparent that this problem admits a short, elementary solution. One can overcome the difficulty by using the value of xx to study x. In fact the equation xx ...

Formal Theories of Truth INTRODUCTION

Of course the teacher wasn’t at all pleased and history doesn’t record whether Carl was kept in after school for insolence! But h ...

Note on a conjecture of PDTA Elliott
... As we mentioned in the first section of the present paper, for Rosen's question only a restricted form of Elliott's conjecture has importance. In this paragraph we shall prove a partial result on this restricted form of Elliott's conjecture. Namely we shall prove the following Theorem 2. Let n > \ b ...
