PPT-Introduction to Proofs

Introduction to Proofs A proof is a valid argument that establishes the truth of a statement Previous section discussed formal proofs Informal proofs are common in math CS and other disciplines. J Hildebrand Evenodd proofs Practice problems Solutions The problems below illustrate the various proof techniques direct proof proof by contraposition proof by cases and proof by contradiction see the separate handout on proof techniques J Hildebrand Worksheet Evenodd Proofs About this worksheet In this worksheet you will practice constructing and writing up proofs of statements involving the parity even or odd of integers and related properties using only minimal assumptionsessenti We present a metatheorem concerning monotonicity of posi tions in a formula that should have a more prominent place in the teaching of such proofs and give supporting examples Introduction In making a calculational step like eakening we are implici Logic and Proof.
