Mathematics 5165 Class Schedule and Homework List

The following schedule is meant to be a fairly close approximation to reality. This is a partial schedule which will be added to, and modified, as the course progresses.


Date Pages Exercises Due
Sept 10-14
  • Enderton: Preface, Introduction, Chapter Zero, pages 1-3, Chapter One 11-34. (You can omit the brief section on Polish Notation on pages 32-33.) You should get an intuitive feel for tautologies in the sense that you should be able to look at a wff that is not too long and `see' whether or not it is a tautology. In particular, you should pay attention to the selected list of tautologies on pages 26-27.
  • Notes on Logic: Pages 1-3.
  • Enderton Page 19: 1-5. These problems refer to properties of wffs. To do them you need to refer back to the definition of a wff in terms of a wellformed sequence (called a `construction sequence' by Enderton) and give a proof by induction.
