The topics covered include: integers, induction, algorithms, real numbers, rational numbers, modular arithmetic, limits, and uncountable sets. Methods, such as axiom, theorem and proof, are taught while discussing the mathematics rather than in abstract isolation. Some of th...
Q4) Let a and b be real numbers with a < b. 1) Show that there are infinitely many rational numbers x with a < x < b, and 2) infinitely many irrational...
1.1 Rationalization of why ‘sybil-nodes’ are bad We assume that a legitimate data-path is one which does not include any sybil identities (Fig. 1), thus upholding a one-to-one relationship between an agent and its virtual, logical identity. Fig. 1 Sample legitimate data path with no Sy...
Pretty much every proof of this I've seen uses the axiom of countable choice at some part or another, and I never got why, since it's pretty cumbersome. Here's the sketch of a proof I wrote for the "fact" that a countable union of countable sets is countable: ...
Then the statement must be shown to be true for n+1 given that it is true for n.Once the n+1 case is shown, the statement is proven for all natural numbers.Answer and Explanation: A proof by induction must always include a base case - in fact, the proof is not valid without a ...

Answer to: Consider the following theorem: if x and y are odd integers, then x + y is even. Give a proof of this theorem by contradiction. By...
Such an unjust yet possibly rational misbehaviour of falsifying the world- view as perceived by others, affects both computations and decision making, here resulting in an unfair spread of rewards. One may conclude that this could lead to messages not being delivered at all—shall the remainder ...
