Online Resources:
HW 1: Do problems 1,3,5 from the first "review of sets" handout. Only write up #1, and turn that in Jan 23. (NOTE: There was a typo that said to write up #3. If you've already done that, go ahead and turn that one in, otherwise write up #1.) If you don't get this to me before Wednesday that's OK, but try to get it t me by Monday.

HW2 (due Friday, Feb 4):

  • Problems 1-2 from Page 6 of the Propositional Logic handout. Only turn in #2
  • Text page 27: 2, 3, 4a, 7, 10ab, 12, 13 (turn in the underlined problems)
  • The "nor" symbol ↓ is defined on Page 51 of the text. (a) Give the truth table for ↓. (b) Prove that it is complete all by itself by showing how to define ¬ and ∧in terms of Enderton ↓.
