Quizzes
Quiz 1 (due 23 Aug) [soln]: Let $A=\left\{ \text{green}, *\right\}$ and $B=\left\{A,4\right\}$. Compute $A \cup B$, $A \cap B$, $A \times B$, and $B \times A$.
Quiz 2 (due 23 Aug) [soln]: Show that the relation $R$ on $\mathbb{Z}$ defined by $m \sim_R n$ iff $m-n$ is even is a transitive relation.
Quiz 3 (due 27 Aug) [soln]: Show that for all $a,b,c \in \mathbb{Q}$ that $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ (and cite relevant equation numbers).
Quiz 4 (due 29 Aug) [soln]: Turn the proof sketch in the notes (see teams) that it is impossible for both $a>0$ and $a=0$ in $\mathbb{Q}$ into a nice proof.
Quiz 5 (due 2 Sep 3 Sep) [soln]: Turn the proof sketch in the notes (see teams) that $|a-b| \geq 0$ into a nice proof.
Quiz 6 (due Sat 7 Sep) [soln]: Consider the sequence $a_n=\dfrac{2n+1}{n+2}$. Prove that $\displaystyle\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} a_n=2$. In your proof, you can choose $N$ so that $N+2 > \dfrac{3}{\epsilon}$.
Quiz 7 (due 17 Sep) [soln]: Find $\displaystyle\limsup_{n\rightarrow \infty} \dfrac{1}{n}$ and $\displaystyle\liminf_{n\rightarrow\infty} \dfrac{1}{n}$.
Quiz 8 (due 25 Sep) [soln]: Show that the sequence $a_n=\dfrac{(-1)^n}{n}$ is a Cauchy sequence.
Quiz 9 (due 1 Oct) [soln]: Write a clean proof of the theorem that if $k \geq m$ and $\displaystyle\sum_{i=m}^{\infty} a_i$ converges, then $\displaystyle\sum_{i=k}^{\infty} a_i$ converges that was shown in the 30 September class notes.
Quiz 10 (due 14 Oct) [soln]: Prove that the constant sequence $a_n=c$ has limit $\displaystyle\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} a_n=c$.
Quiz 11 (due 21 Oct) [soln]: Exercise 4.3.1 (a) and (c)
Quiz 12 (due 24 Oct) [soln]: Let $I_n=\left[ 1-\dfrac{n}{n+1}, 1+\dfrac{n}{n+1}\right]$ for $n=1,2,3,\ldots$. Are the following sets open, closed, or neither?:
(a) $\displaystyle\cap_{n=1}^{\infty} I_n$ and (b) $\displaystyle\cup_{n=1}^{\infty} I_n$?
Quiz 13 (due 31 Oct) [soln]: Find an open cover of the open set $(0,1) \cup (2,3)$ that does not have a finite subcover.
