Lesson 2.

NOTE 1: Be sure to read Homework Format and Homework Writing Policy BEFORE writing up your solutions to be turned in.

NOTE 2: When two or more Lessons are to be turned in on the same day, please staple the Lessons separately and turn them in separately.
(This is Lesson 2; if another Lesson is due the same day as this Lesson is due, staple the two Lessons separately and turn them in separately.)

Postponed to Friday, January 25

Take note of what you did in Lesson 1. (You're not asked to redo Lesson 1; just take note of the points made there.)
In the following problems, don't be afraid to address the possibility that the original statement might have more than one meaning, and hence there might be more than one negation; but don't stretch the meanings -- use natural, everyday meanings of the given statements.
Sect. 1:
Exercise 1.4*(a)-(d)**, and add
  1. The functions  f  and  g  are continuous.**
  2. Bob and Betty are related.**
  3. Chris and Robin are married.**
*  Be sure all your negations are clearly and unambigously the negation of the original statement. Use your judgment as to whether explanations are required. In some cases, you may validly conclude that your answer is “obvious” from the discussions of negations given in the textbook. (See homework policies.)
** In Exercise 1.4, some of the “statements” contain one or more “variables”. (Even Bob, Betty, etc., in 1.4 (i) and (j) could be considered “variables”.) Assume that the value of the variable is given, so that these are really statements.  In Section 1.2, we will learn another way of dealing with “unintroduced” variables.

NOTE: As stated on the Course Home Page, all due dates are tentative. Assignments, or parts of assignments, may be postponed to a later date.
