Chapter 1 (part a) Flashcards
Field
Any set where addition and multiplication are well-defined operations that are communative, associative, distributive, have an additive identity, multiplicitive inverse, and multiplicitive idenitity.
Communitive Property
Changing the order of the operands does not change the result.
Associative Property
Rearranging the parenthesis does not change result
Distributive Property
A sum times a value may be expanded in terms the sum of each component times the value
Additive Identity
For some value x, the additive identity plus x yields x
Multiplicative Inverse
A number x, when multiplied by a its multiplicative inverse, yields 1
Multiplcative Identity
The number 1, from any value times its multiplicative inverse is 1. Also ay value times the multiplicative identity is the value
Set
A collection of elements
Disjoint
the intersection of two sets A and B is the empty set
Set B contains set A
or A is a subset of B
A c B
Un=1 to inf (An)
The infinite intersections of the sets Ai

De Morgan’s Laws
(AΠB)c = AcUBc
and
(AUB)c = AcΠBc
Function
Rule or mapping that takes each a in A and associates it with a single element of B
Triangle Inequality
|a+b| < |a| + |b|
Theorem: Two real numbers a and b are equal if and only if…
For every real number ϵ > 0, it follows that |a - b| < ε
Axiom of Completeness
Every non-empty set of real numbers, that is bounded above, has at least one upper bound
Bounded Above
A set A c R is bounded _____ if there exists a b in B such that
a < b for all a in A.
And b is an ______ bound for A.
Bounded Below
A set A c R is bounded ____ if there exists b in R such that
b < a for all a in A.
And b is an ____ bound for A.
Least Upper Bound
for some b in R, b is the least upper bound if for a set A c R if:
i. ) b is an _____ bound of A
ii. ) if c is any ____ bound of A, b < c
Greatest Lower Bound
for some b in R, b is the greatest lower bound if for a set A c R if:
i. ) b is an _____ bound of A
ii. ) if c is any ____ bound of A, b > c
