  2. e.g.1 (Page 6) We are going to prove the following claim C is true: statement P(m) is true for each non-negative integer m, namely 0, 1, 2, … P(0) true If we can prove that statement P(m) is true for each non-negative integer separately, then we can prove the above claim C is correct. P(1) true P(2) true P(3) true P(4) true … true

  3. e.g.1 We are going to prove the following claim C is false: statement P(m) is true for each non-negative integer m, namely 0, 1, 2, … P(0) false true P(1) true There may exist another non-negative integer k such that P(k) is false P(2) true P(3) true P(4) true … true

  4. P(3) true P(4) true … true e.g.1 We are going to prove the following claim C is false: statement P(m) is true for each non-negative integer m, namely 0, 1, 2, … 0, 1, 2, … -1, -2,… m2 > m integer 02 > 0 P(0) false 12 > 1 P(1) false 22 > 2 P(2) true

  5. e.g.2 (Page 9) We are going to prove the following claim C is true: there exists a non-negative integer m such that statement P(m) is true P(0) P(1) If we can prove that statement P(m) is true for ONE non-negative integer, then we can prove the above claim C is correct. P(2) true P(3) P(4) …

  6. e.g.2 We are going to prove the following claim C is false: there exists a non-negative integer m such that statement P(m) is true P(0) false P(1) false If we can prove that statement P(m) is false for each non-negative integer separately, then we can prove the above claim C is false. P(2) false P(3) false P(4) false … false

  7. P(0) P(1) P(2) P(3) P(4) … e.g.2 We are going to prove the following claim C is true: there exists a non-negative integer m such that statement P(m) is true m2 > m integer 22 > 2 true

  8. e.g.3 (Page 13) • E.g. Using the quantifier notations, please re-write the Euclid’s division theorem that states For every positive integer n and every non-negative integer m, there are integers q and r, with 0  r < n such that m = qn + r.

  9. For every positive integer n and every non-negative integer m, there are integers q and r, with 0  r < n such that m = qn + r. e.g.3 For every positive integer n and every non-negative integer m, there are non-negative integers q and r, with r < n such that m = qn + r. Since m is non-negativeand n is a positive integer, we derive that q and r are also non-negative. Let Z+ be the set of positive integers. Let N be the set of non-negative integers. m  N ( ) q  N ( ) r  N ( ) (r < n)  (m = qn + r) n  Z+ ( )

  10. e.g.4 (Page 15) m  N ( ) q  N ( ) r  N ( ) (r < n)  (m = qn + r) n  Z+ ( ) Let p(m, n, q, r) denote m = nq + r with r < n If we remove the universe, then we can see the order in which the quantifieroccurs m ( ) q ( ) r p(m, n, q, r) n ( )
