Math 39 Homework #6

My mind rebels at stagnation.
Give me problems, give me work, give me the most obstruse cryptogram,
or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere.

Reading

Read what we will cover in the next class: 2.2, 3.1.

When reading 2.2 pay special attention to the following concepts:

  • complete extension, the Adequacy Theorem, decidable, and the many propostions that arise in this section.
When reading 3.1 pay special attention to the following concepts:
  • predicates, universal quantifier, existential quantifier, bound variables, the relationship between the existential and the universal quantifier.

Problems

The following problems are due by the beginning of class on Friday 10/9.
  • 2.2: 7, 9, 10. (Note: Soundness and Completeness may be helpful).
  • Prove that if F is an extension of L, then F U {A} is inconsistent iff
    F |- ~A (i.e., F deduces ~A).
  • Prove that if F is a consistent extension of L and A is a wf, then F U {A} or
    F U {~A} is consistent. Give an example to justify that this is an inclusive-or.
