  1. Plan Relation Practice, Inversions Cardinality of Finite Sets Powersets Well-Ordering

    Practice Chicken-Egg Challenge: I have received a couple good contenders, but will keep the challenge open (without posting or selecting “winners”) until next Monday.
  2. function: ≤ 1 out injective: ≤ 1 in total: ≥

    1 out surjective: ≥ 1 in PS2 Grades: ⟶
  3. Composing Relations ; : , , ; ⊆ × <

    ∘ ; ∷= < : , , < ⊆ ×
  4. Composing Relations ; : , , ; ⊆ × <

    ∘ ; ∷= , , ;< ⊆ × , ∈ ;< ⟺ , ∈ ; ∧ , ∈ < < : , , < ⊆ ×
  5. Inverting a Relation The inverse of a relation R is

    defined by reversing all the arrows: E;: ⟶ , E; ⊆ × The inverse of : ⟶ , ⊆ × is:
  6. Inverting a Relation The inverse of a relation R is

    defined by reversing all the arrows: E;: ⟶ , E; ⊆ × , ∈ E; ⟺ , ∈ The inverse of : ⟶ , ⊆ × is:
  7. Slack break: any questions so far , ∈ E; ⟺

    , ∈ Are there any relations : ℤ ⟶ ℤ other than =, where E; = ?
  8. Set Cardinality If is a finite set, the cardinality of

    , written ||, is the number of elements in . Is this a totally satisfying definition?
  9. Set Cardinality If is a finite set, the cardinality of

    , written ||, is the number of elements in . Fundamental set operation: membership ∈ Can we define cardinality in terms of membership?
  10. Alternate Definition The cardinality of the set M = ∈

    ℕ ∧ < } is . If there is a bijection between two sets, they have the same cardinality.
  11. Example What is the cardinality of { 1, 2, 4,

    8 } ? The cardinality of the set M = ∈ ℕ ∧ < } is . If there is a bijection between two sets, they have the same cardinality.
  12. Relations and Sizes function: ≤ 1 out injective: ≤ 1

    in total: ≥ 1 out surjective: ≥ 1 in If there is a surjective relation between and what do we know about their sizes?
  13. Relations and Sizes function: ≤ 1 out injective: ≤ 1

    in total: ≥ 1 out surjective: ≥ 1 in If there is a surjective function between and what do we know about their sizes?
  14. Relations and Sizes function: ≤ 1 out injective: ≤ 1

    in total: ≥ 1 out surjective: ≥ 1 in If there is a total surjective injective function between and what do we know about their sizes?
  15. Union Cardinality What is the cardinality of ∪ ? The

    cardinality of the set M = ∈ ℕ ∧ < } is . If there is a bijection between two sets, they have the same cardinality.
  16. Power Set The power set of A is the set

    of all subsets of A. ∈ ⟺ ⊆
  17. Power Set The power set of A is the set

    of all subsets of A. ∈ ⟺ ⊆ Is ∅ ∈ ?
  18. Power Set The power set of A is the set

    of all subsets of A. ∈ ⟺ ⊆ Is ∈ ?
  19. Well-Ordering Proofs ∷= ℕ\ = 2\ 1. ∷= ∈ ℕ

    ℕ\ ≠ 2\ } 2. Assume is non-empty. 3. By well-ordering principle, there must be some smallest element, ∈ .
  20. 1. ∷= ∈ ℕ ℕ\ ≠ 2\ } 2. Assume

    is non-empty. 3. By well-ordering principle, there must be some smallest element, ∈ .
  21. 1. ∷= ∈ ℕ ℕ\ ≠ 2\ } 2. Assume

    is non-empty. 3. By well-ordering principle, there must be some smallest element, ∈ . I’ll finish this proof on Thursday, but see if you can do it yourself.
