Problems

The following problems are due by the beginning of class on Monday 11/23.
  • Hamilton 6.4 (p. 150) #15, 16, 17.
  • Hamilton 6.5 (p. 155) #18
    Note that in this problem, Hamilton's U is our G from class.
  • Let G be the Gödel sentence which is true but unprovable.
    • Is Cn(PA U {G}) complete?
    • Is Cn(PA U {~G}) complete?
  • Informally explain (i.e., in the spirit of Crossley), the proof of Gödel's Second Incompleteness Theorem.
    (This is one of the proofs that I expect you to know and know really well.)
