    Proofs, Sets, Functions, and More: Fundamentals of Mathematical Reasoning, with Engaging Examples from Algebra, Number Theory, and Analysis Mike Krebs James Pommersheim Anthony Shaheen FOR THE INSTRUCTOR TO READ i For the instructor to read We should put a section in the front of the book that organizes the organization of the book. It would be the instructor section that would have: { flow chart that shows which sections are prereqs for what sections. We can start making this now so we don't have to remember the flow later. { main organization and objects in each chapter { What a Cfu is and how to use it { Why we have the proofcomment formatting and what it is. { Applications sections and what they are { Other things that need to be pointed out. IDEA: Seperate each of the above into subsections that are labeled for ease of reading but not shown in the table of contents in the front of the book. ||||||||| main organization examples: ||||||| || In a course such as this, the student comes in contact with many abstract concepts, such as that of a set, a function, and an equivalence class of an equivalence relation. What is the best way to learn this material. We have come up with several rules that we want to follow in this book. Themes of the book: 1. The book has a few central mathematical objects that are used throughout the book. 2. Each central mathematical object from theme #1 must be a fundamental object in mathematics that appears in many areas of mathematics and its applications.

  • The Evolution of Numbers
    The Evolution of Numbers Counting Numbers Counting Numbers: {1, 2, 3, …} We use numbers to count: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc You can have "3 friends" A field can have "6 cows" Whole Numbers Whole numbers are the counting numbers plus zero. Whole Numbers: {0, 1, 2, 3, …} Negative Numbers We can count forward: 1, 2, 3, 4, ...... but what if we count backward: 3, 2, 1, 0, ... what happens next? The answer is: negative numbers: {…, -3, -2, -1} A negative number is any number less than zero. Integers If we include the negative numbers with the whole numbers, we have a new set of numbers that are called integers: {…, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …} The Integers include zero, the counting numbers, and the negative counting numbers, to make a list of numbers that stretch in either direction indefinitely. Rational Numbers A rational number is a number that can be written as a simple fraction (i.e. as a ratio). 2.5 is rational, because it can be written as the ratio 5/2 7 is rational, because it can be written as the ratio 7/1 0.333... (3 repeating) is also rational, because it can be written as the ratio 1/3 More formally we say: A rational number is a number that can be written in the form p/q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero. Example: If p is 3 and q is 2, then: p/q = 3/2 = 1.5 is a rational number Rational Numbers include: all integers all fractions Irrational Numbers An irrational number is a number that cannot be written as a simple fraction.

M44105 Rubric Score Description 3 Student response includes the following 3 elements. • Reasoning component = 3 points o Correct identification of a as rational and b as irrational o Correct identification that the product is irrational o Correct reasoning used to determine rational and irrational numbers Sample Student Response: A rational number can be written as a ratio. In other words, a number that can be written as a simple fraction. a = 0.444444444444... can be written as 4 . Thus, a is a 9 rational number. All numbers that are not rational are considered irrational. An irrational number can be written as a decimal, but not as a fraction. b = 0.354355435554... cannot be written as a fraction, so it is irrational. The product of an irrational number and a nonzero rational number is always irrational, so the product of a and b is irrational. You can also see it is irrational with my calculations: 4 (.354355435554...)= .15749... 9 .15749... is irrational. 2 Student response includes 2 of the 3 elements. 1 Student response includes 1 of the 3 elements. 0 Student response is incorrect or irrelevant.

Introduction The first numbers we all meet are the positive integers 1, 2, 3, 4, … We use them for countingUNESCO – that is, for measuring the size– of collectionsEOLSS – and no doubt integers were first invented for that purpose. Counting seems to be a simple process, but it leads to more complex processes,SAMPLE such as addition (if CHAPTERSI have 19 sheep and you have 26 sheep, how many do we have altogether?) and multiplication ( if seven people each have 13 sheep, how many do they have altogether?). Addition leads in turn to the idea of subtraction, which raises questions that have no answers in the positive integers. For example, what is the result of subtracting 7 from 5? To answer such questions we introduce negative integers and thus make an extension of the system of positive integers.

Department of Mathematics, June 2011. ADVISOR: DR. KARL ZIMMERMANN One way to construct the real numbers involves creating equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences of rational numbers with respect to the usual absolute value. But, with a dierent absolute value we construct a completely dierent set of numbers called the p-adic numbers, and denoted Qp. First, we take p an intuitive approach to discussing Qp by building the p-adic version of 7. Then, we take a more rigorous approach and introduce this unusual p-adic absolute value, j jp, on the rationals to the lay the foundations for rigor in Qp. Before starting the construction of Qp, we arrive at the surprising result that all triangles are isosceles under j jp.

  • Chapter I, the Real and Complex Number Systems
    CHAPTER I THE REAL AND COMPLEX NUMBERS DEFINITION OF THE NUMBERS 1, i; AND p2 In order to make precise sense out of the concepts we study in mathematical analysis, we must first come to terms with what the \real numbers" are. Everything in mathematical analysis is based on these numbers, and their very definition and existence is quite deep. We will, in fact, not attempt to demonstrate (prove) the existence of the real numbers in the body of this text, but will content ourselves with a careful delineation of their properties, referring the interested reader to an appendix for the existence and uniqueness proofs. Although people may always have had an intuitive idea of what these real num- bers were, it was not until the nineteenth century that mathematically precise definitions were given. The history of how mathematicians came to realize the necessity for such precision in their definitions is fascinating from a philosophical point of view as much as from a mathematical one. However, we will not pursue the philosophical aspects of the subject in this book, but will be content to con- centrate our attention just on the mathematical facts. These precise definitions are quite complicated, but the powerful possibilities within mathematical analysis rely heavily on this precision, so we must pursue them. Toward our primary goals, we will in this chapter give definitions of the symbols (numbers) 1; i; and p2: − The main points of this chapter are the following: (1) The notions of least upper bound (supremum) and greatest lower bound (infimum) of a set of numbers, (2) The definition of the real numbers R; (3) the formula for the sum of a geometric progression (Theorem 1.9), (4) the Binomial Theorem (Theorem 1.10), and (5) the triangle inequality for complex numbers (Theorem 1.15).

    1 Department of Mathematics, The University of Pennsylvania, Philadel- phia, PA 19104-6395 E-mail address: [email protected] 2 Math480/540, TOPICS IN MODERN MATH. What are numbers? A.A.Kirillov Dec. 2007 2 The aim of this course is to show, what meaning has the notion of number in modern mathematics; tell about the problems arising in connection with different understanding of numbers and how these problems are being solved. Of course, I can explain only first steps of corresponding theories. For those who want to know more, I indicate the appropriate literature. 0.1 Preface The “muzhiks” near Vyatka lived badly. But they did not know it and believed that they live well, not worse than the others A.Krupin, “The live water.” When a school student first meet mathematics, (s)he is told that it is a science which studies numbers and figures. Later, in a college, (s)he learns analytic geometry which express geometric notions using numbers. So, it seems that numbers is the only object of study in mathematics. True, if you open a modern mathematical journal and try to read any article, it is very probable that you will see no numbers at all. Instead, au- thors speak about sets, functions, operators, groups, manifolds, categories, etc. Nevertheless, all these notions in one way or another are based on num- bers and the final result of any mathematical theory usually is expressed by a number. So, I think it is useful to discuss with math major students the ques- tion posed in the title.

  • NON-SPLIT REDUCTIVE GROUPS OVER Z Brian Conrad
    NON-SPLIT REDUCTIVE GROUPS OVER Z Brian Conrad Abstract. | We study the following phenomenon: some non-split connected semisimple Q-groups G admit flat affine Z-group models G with \everywhere good reduction" (i.e., GFp is a connected semisimple Fp-group for every prime p). Moreover, considering such G up to Z-group isomorphism, there can be more than one such G for a given G. This is seen classically for types B and D by using positive-definite quadratic lattices. The study of such Z-groups provides concrete applications of many facets of the theory of reductive groups over rings (scheme of Borel subgroups, auto- morphism scheme, relative non-abelian cohomology, etc.), and it highlights the role of number theory (class field theory, mass formulas, strong approximation, point-counting over finite fields, etc.) in analyzing the possibilities. In part, this is an expository account of [G96]. R´esum´e. | Nous ´etudions le ph´enom`ene suivant : certains Q-groupes G semi-simples connexes non d´eploy´es admettent comme mod`eles des Z-groupes G affines et plats avec \partout bonne r´eduction" (c'est `adire, GFp est un Fp- groupe Q-groupes G pour chaque premier p). En outre, consid´erant de tels G `a Z-groupe isomorphisme pr`es, il y a au plus un tel G pour un G donn´e.Ceci est vu classiquement pour les types B et D en utilisant des r´eseaux quadratiques d´efinis positifs. L'´etude de ces Z-groupes donne lieu `ades applications concr`etes d'aspects multiples, de la th´eorie des groupes r´eductifs sur des anneaux (sch´emas de sous-groupes de Borel, sch´emas d'automorphismes, cohomologie relative non ab´elienne, etc.), et met en ´evidence le r^ole de la th´eorie des nombres (th´eorie du corps de classes, formules de masse, approximation forte, comptage de points sur les corps finis, etc.) dans l'analyse des possibilit´es.En partie, ceci est un article d'exposition sur [G96].

  • Quaternion Algebras and Q 1.1. What Are Quaternion Algebras?
    INTRODUCTION TO THE LOCAL-GLOBAL PRINCIPLE LIANG XIAO Abstract. This is the notes of a series lectures on local-global principle and quaternion algebras, given at Connecticut Summer School in Number Theory. 1. Day I: Quaternion Algebras and Qp 1.1. What are Quaternion Algebras? 1.1.1. Hamiltonian H. Recall that we setup mathematics in such a way starting with positive integers N and integers Z to build Q as its quotient field, and then defining R using several equivalent axioms, e.g. Dedekind cut, or as certain completions. After that, we introduced the field of complex numbers as C = R ⊕ Ri, satisfying i2 = −1. One of the most important theorem for complex numbers is the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra: all complex coefficients non-constant polynomials f(x) 2 C[x] has a zero. In other words, C is an algebraically closed field; so there is no bigger field than C that is finite dimensional as an R-vector space. (With the development of physics), Hamilton discovered that there is an \associative-but- non-commutative field” (called a skew field or a division algebra) H which is 4-dimensional over R: H = R ⊕ Ri ⊕ Rj ⊕ Rk = ai + bj + cj + dk a; b; c; d 2 R ; where the multiplication is R-linear and subject to the following rules: i2 = j2 = k2 = −1; ij = −ji = k; jk = −kj = i; and ki = −ik = j: This particular H is called the Hamiltonian quaternion. One simple presentation of H is: 2 2 H := Chi; ji i + 1; j + 1; ij + ji : Question 1.1.2.
