Introduction to proofs
terminology
• Theorem/facts/results:
• A statement of some importance that can be shown to be true
• Propositions:
• Less important statements which can be shown to be true
• Proof
• A valid argument that establishes the truth of the theorem
• Lemma
• A less important theorem that is helpful in the proof of other results
• Corollary
• Theorem that can be established directly from a theorem that has been
proved
• Conjecture
• A statement that is being proposed to be true statement on basis of
partial evidence, intuition of an expert
Methods of proving theorems
• Direct proof
• Proofs by contraposition
• Vacuous and trivial proofs
• Proofs of equivalence
• counterexamples
Direct proof
• A direct proof of a conditional statement p → q is
constructed when the first step is the assumption that p is
true; subsequent steps are constructed u
• A direct proof shows that a conditional statement p → q is
true by showing that if p is true, then q must also be true, so
that the combination p true and q false never occurs. Using
rules of inference, with the final step showing that q must
also be true
Definition of even and odd integers
• The integer n is even if there exists an integer k such that n
= 2k, and n is odd if there exists an integer k such that n
= 2k + 1
Same parity
• Two integers have the same parity when both are even or
both are odd; they have opposite parity when one is even
and the other is odd.
example
• Give a direct proof of the theorem “If n is an odd
integer, then n2 is odd.”
example
• Give a direct proof that if m and n are both perfect
squares, then nm is also a perfect square.

  • 2. terminology • Theorem/facts/results: • A statement of some importance that can be shown to be true • Propositions: • Less important statements which can be shown to be true • Proof • A valid argument that establishes the truth of the theorem
  • 3. • Lemma • A less important theorem that is helpful in the proof of other results • Corollary • Theorem that can be established directly from a theorem that has been proved • Conjecture • A statement that is being proposed to be true statement on basis of partial evidence, intuition of an expert
  • 4. Methods of proving theorems • Direct proof • Proofs by contraposition • Vacuous and trivial proofs • Proofs of equivalence • counterexamples
  • 5. Direct proof • A direct proof of a conditional statement p → q is constructed when the first step is the assumption that p is true; subsequent steps are constructed u • A direct proof shows that a conditional statement p → q is true by showing that if p is true, then q must also be true, so that the combination p true and q false never occurs. Using rules of inference, with the final step showing that q must also be true
  • 6. Definition of even and odd integers • The integer n is even if there exists an integer k such that n = 2k, and n is odd if there exists an integer k such that n = 2k + 1
  • 7. Same parity • Two integers have the same parity when both are even or both are odd; they have opposite parity when one is even and the other is odd.
  • 8. example • Give a direct proof of the theorem “If n is an odd integer, then n2 is odd.”
  • 9. example • Give a direct proof that if m and n are both perfect squares, then nm is also a perfect square.
