There are numerous Propositions proved in the text based on the Betweenness Axioms . We shall list most of them, but shall prove only a few. Proposition 6.1: For any two points A and B It seems clear from Figure that every point P lying on the line through A B , and C must either belong to ray or to an opposite ray . This statement seems similar to the second assertion of Proposition , but it is actually much more complicated. You are now discussing four points and not the three of Proposition . You will prove this assertion in your homework, with the addition of another axiom. Let us call the assertion and a point P is collinear with A B , and C , implies that as the line separation property . This is something that you will prove, but knowing that it can be proven, we shall use it as we need. Recall the definitions of same side and opposite sides . Also, recall the last

http://www.mscs.mu.edu/courses/math135.htm

Extractions: MATH 135- Foundations of Geometry 1. Textbook: Walter Prenowitz and Meyer Jordan, Basic Concepts of Geometry, Ardsley House, New York, 1989. This book consists of two distinct parts. Part I is an intuitive introduction which is at times not very rigorous, Part II is an axiomatic treatment which culminates with Euclidean geometry. Part II consists of Chapters 7 to 15 and can be read independently from Part I. Only this Part II will be used in this course. The contents are outlined below. 2. Goals. The goal of this course is not to do a lot of Euclidean geometry or to have a deep investigation of some of the non-Euclidean geometries but rather to gradually present the axioms that determine plane and three dimensional Euclidean geometry .In the course of doing so models will show that other alternatives are feasible so that various other geometries present themselves naturally. Thus, only at the end of the semester will the student have the complete set of axioms of Euclidean geometry at hand. This might be the only class where the student will be faced with the axiomatic approach and where the concepts "axiom", "primitive notion", "completeness of a system of axioms", "model", "definition", "proof', "theorem", are exemplified in such a clear manner. This is an occasion where the teacher will constantly have to remind the students of the how and why of the axiomatic approach in mathematics in general. New for the students is also the fact that they will have to fabricate proofs themselves: most of the exercises ask for proofs, not routine calculations; most of these proofs are synthetic, not analytic, in nature. This entails a twofold frustration for the teacher: rather than teach geometry, he will spend quite some time on explaining the axiomatic method, and on how to write proofs properly.

Extractions: The Why? Who? and What? of this Course It is quite clear to me (and at least a few others) that today's civilization/economy is like a jet a technological marvel, apparently defying the law of gravity, until the fuel tanks hit empty. We clever humans have designed a way of living that apparently violates many laws of Nature, until an irreplaceable resource runs out or there is a design failure that exposes false assumptions. If at least a few understand this human predicament, then an unpleasant crash might be avoided; or at least the seeds of our successors can parachute to safety.

Extractions: POINTERS: Texts Software Web links Selected topics here Mathematical Logic is the study of the processes used in mathematical deduction. The subject has origins in philosophy, and indeed it is only by nonmathematical argument that one can show the usual rules for inference and deduction (law of excluded middle; cut rule; etc.) are valid. It is also a legacy from philosophy that we can distinguish semantic reasoning ("what is true?") from syntactic reasoning ("what can be shown?"). The first leads to Model Theory, the second, to Proof Theory. Students encounter elementary (sentential) logic early in their mathematical training. This includes techniques using truth tables, symbolic logic with only "and", "or", and "not" in the language, and various equivalences among methods of proof (e.g. proof by contradiction is a proof of the contrapositive). This material includes somewhat deeper results such as the existence of disjunctive normal forms for statements. Also fairly straightforward is elementary first-order logic, which adds quantifiers ("for all" and "there exists") to the language. The corresponding normal form is prenex normal form. In second-order logic, the quantifiers are allowed to apply to relations and functions to subsets as well as elements of a set. (For example, the well-ordering axiom of the integers is a second-order statement). So how can we characterize the set of theorems for the theory? The theorems are defined in a purely procedural way, yet they should be related to those statements which are (semantically) "true", that is, statements which are valid in every model of those axioms. With a suitable (and reasonably natural) set of rules of inference, the two notions coincide for any theory in first-order logic: the Soundness Theorem assures that what is provable is true, and the Completeness Theorem assures that what is true is provable. It follows that the set of true first-order statements is effectively enumerable, and decidable: one can deduce in a finite number of steps whether or not such a statement follows from the axioms. So, for example, one could make a countable list of all statements which are true for all groups.

Extractions: Borel measurability of separately continuous functions Lebesgue proved that every separately continuous function f R R R is a pointwise limit of continuous functions. W. Rudin extended this by showing that if X is a metric space, then for any topological space Y , every separately continuous function f X Y R is a pointwise limit of continuous functions. This statement can fail if we take for X an arbitrary linearly ordered space, even if X is separable. However, we show that if X X X n , where X X n are linearly ordered spaces which are either all separable or all countably compact, and Y is any topological space, then every separately continuous function f X Y R is Borel measurable. We also give, under a cardinal arithmetic assumption, an example of a linearly ordered space X and a separately continuous function f X X R which is not Borel measurable.

http://www.math.uic.edu/~marker/504.html

Extractions: course webpage: http://www.math.uic.edu/~marker/504.html In the first half of the century it was shown that most of mathematics can be formalized inside of set theory and that a simple set of axioms could be given so that every acceptable proof followed formally from these axioms. Godel's Incompleteness Theorem implies that there are mathematical truths not settled by these axioms. The most famous is the Continuum Hypothesis (CH) that asserts that there are no infinite sets of cardinality greater than the natural numbers but less than the real numbers.

Extractions: We must not assume we know a thing until we have deduced the " why " of it. Algebraic Axioms To solve equations that have a certain degree of complexity, we use algebraic axioms Math thinking is based on deductive reasoning. This means that we start with a premise an established math principle or law assuming to be true. By logical steps we deduce from the given premise, a result that can be used as a premise for the next step of deductive reasoning. The good news is that the two basic algebraic axioms are based on the premises of the two fundamental operations, the operations that students are already well versed in. An axiom may be defined as an established principle or law of math that (a) needs no proof because its truth is self-evident, and (b) is accepted as true without proof.

Extractions: QRMS Pages Math Skills Topics Field Properties and Equations Exposition Algebra seems mysterious to many students. However, if one looks at algebra as simply the abstraction of those things we understand about number systems, then some of the mystery disappears. In this section we will explore number systems using what mathematicians call the Field Axioms and a special property called closure Before viewing this material, if you are a bit rusty on set notation click here for a brush-up. The set of natural numbers, represented by the symbol N , consists of the numbers we have always used for counting things. What could be more natural? This expression, translated into natural language, says simply, "For all elements in the set of natural numbers, if we add numbers in any grouping, we get the same thing. We then say that addition is associative." Let's put some numbers in place of the variables and see if we can apply this axiom to our set. Place the numbers in for the variables and move the parentheses around as stated in the axiom.
