| Practice Problems |
Section 1.4 #5, 6, 7, 11. Section 1.8 #2, 5, 6, 7, 16, 17. Prove or disprove: the dot product is associative. Section 1.11 #8, 9, 14, 18. Section 1.15 #4, 6, 8, 9, 14, 17, 18. Truth tables for conditional, contrapositive, converse, inverse. What is a statement logically equivalent to the negation of the conditional? Justify your answer. Section 3.5 #9 - 20. As stated, one of the axioms for a linear space is redundant. Which one and why? Section 3.10 #11 - 22. Read the proofs of Theorems 3.5 and 3.7, and compare them with the proof of Theorem 1.10. Section 3.13 #5, 6, 8, 12, 14. Section 4.4 #11 - 15, 25 - 28. Let T: V -> W be a linear transformation from V into W, both linear spaces. Prove that the null space of T is a subspace of V. Let V be a Euclidean space and S a finite dimensional subspace of V with an orthonormal basis. Let T:V -> S be the linear transformation where T(f) is the projection of the element f from V onto the subspace S. Prove that N(T) = S^{perp}, the orthogonal complement of S. Section 4.8 #1, 2, 27, 28, 29, 30. Let V and W be linear spaces. Prove that the set of all linear transformations of V into W is a linear space. Let T: V -> W be a function from set V into set W. Prove that T has a left inverse if and only if T is one-to-one on V. Be very careful to correctly use the definition of left inverse, etc. Section 4.12 #4, 5, 8, 9, 19, 20. Section 4.16 #5, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15. Section 4.20 #8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Section 4.21 #7, 8, 9. Section 5.8 #2, 4, 7. Section 5.15 #1, 3, 5, 7. Section 5.20 #1, 2, 5. Section 5.20 #3, 4. Section 5.22 #2.

| Things you should know |
Basic set theory and propositional logic. Here's a
An Elementary Introduction to Logic and Set Theory.
I have also just requested that the books
Discrete Mathematics
by Johnsonbaugh and _Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications_ by Rosen
be put on reserve at the library. The first chapters will cover logic,
sets, and basic proof techniques. |
