Midterm 1 Review Due on 3 October

  • Which topics and theorems do you think are the most important out of those we have studied?
I feel that the most important topics are the different types of proofs, as well as the proofs that are dealing with real numbers.  It may just be my opinion but determining whether something is even or odd is useful for learning the form of proofs, but I do not see it too applicable in my life.
  • What kinds of questions do you expect to see on the exam?
I expect to see a lot of proofs and probably some questions about set operations and truth tables.
  • What do you need to work on understanding better before the exam? Come up with a mathematical question you would like to see answered or a problem you would like to see worked out.
  • I still need to work a little bit on the last few chapters about proving something is rational or irrational like for example prove that sqrt(2) is irrational, and also I need to review the set operations in the first few chapters.  Cartesian products are always confusing.  I do not think latex will be on the exam so I should be good there because Latex is simply amazing.
