statement that is either true or false. (Class 1) Definition. A set is well-ordered with respect to an ordering function (e.g., <), if any of its non-empty subsets has a minimum element. (Class 3) Definition. A formula is valid if there is no way to make it false. (Class 4)
) The execution of a state machine, = (, ⊆ ×, . ∈ ) is a (possibly infinite) sequence of states, (. , 2 , … , 4 ) that: 1. . = . (it begins with the start state) 2. ∀ ∈ 0, 1, … , − 1 . < → <>2 ∈ (if and are consecutive states in the sequence, there is an edge → ∈ .
> 0 ∧ (A = − 1 ∨ A = }, . = 2102) Does terminate? A state machine terminates if all executions of that machine eventually reach a state with no transitions.
embarrassment aside for the sake of insight. I'm good at this already, 85 I can do this already, but want to get better, 169 I do not have this habit now, 59 Being Wrong
this already, but want to get better, 120 I do not have this habit now, 153 I didn't understand what this means, 31 From Course Registration Survey: Scaling the ladder of abstraction Part of the big struggle of mathematics is synthesizing all of the information in all of these ladder rungs into a coherent world-view that you can personally scale up and down at will.
then assume your axioms to base other things off. Make sure your rules are labeled sound if they only return true. If you're not sure make a table, they always show the truth. We learned of operators ANDs and ORs and P’s and Q’s, we talked of implications and when they will be true. Dave taught us contrapositives and how to write good proofs. We then tackled well ordering and we were all confused. With respect to some relation in non-empty subsets, there's got to be a minimum or order is upset. These proofs use contradiction and counter example sets, assuming it's well ordered too is probably your best bet. There's CNF and DNF and then the DeMorgan's law NANDs and NORs exclusive ORs we all learned in the fall. Binary relations, graphs of edges out and in Got to use all your resources cause your head might start to spin. Go to office hours the diligent and kind the TAs they will guide you help you make up your mind. If you've got no idea and you're ready to give in the lectures that are on collab are probably your best friend To use proof by induction first think of your base case , and if your proposition holds well boy you're in the race the easy part is over now prove p(n+1) by assuming you've got p(n) if you can then you’re done Discrete Song by Max Rifkin
verify your grades are recorded correctly in collab; any mistakes need to be corrected by Friday I will have my normal office hours tomorrow (2:30-3:30pm), and normal TA office hours tomorrow. Last scheduled office hours.
