100

A is infinite.

What is A if it is not finite?

The inverse of f.

The function f-1: B→A defined by f-1(b) = a if any only if f(a) = b is what?

200

(The pigeonhole principle) There is no injective function from A to B.

What if A and B are finite and |B| < |A|?

200

The contradiction in the proof for Euclid's Theorem.

What is "if there are a finite number of primes 'a', then construct a number (1 x 2 x 3 x 5...x a) + 1 = k, then k must be both prime and composite"?

300

The cardinality of the set is 2n.

What is the cardinality of the power set?

The two sets are disjoint.

Sets A and B are what, if A n B=∅?

400

The premises for strong induction.

What are "

  1. Fix m ∈ ℕ and let S = {i ∈ ℤ | i ≧ m}

500

We can conclude that P(S) is true for all s in S.

What can we conclude if:

(i) P(m) is true 

(ii) ∀ k ∈ S, P(k) ⇒ P(k + 1) is true?

500

The family is a partition on X.

What do you call a relation that is pairwise disjoint and whose union (of all sets), is all of X?
