3.3-3.5, due on September 19

The most difficult part of the material was the last example and trying to find the error in the proof.  It took me a while to catch why the proof was incorrect because they used the same variable in the definitions of n and m.  The other difficult was the need for the contrapositive in proving if and only if.  I am still not sure I understand why it is important, but I assume it is needed.

The most interesting part of the reading, I thought was the separating of things into cases.  I know in previous math courses we would do this all the time especially for x<1 or x>1.  I would love to apply this in other fields and I will certainly look for opportunities.
