Discuss Prelim Date: March 13 or March 27
Estimated time: less than 6 hours

  1. Solve the exercise on page 63 of Smullyan.
  2. Say that a set with operation and element and relation < is an ordered abelian monoid iff
    1. is associative and commutative
    2. is an identity with respect to
    3. < is a linear order on such that implies for any .
    Write first-order relations which specify this structure. Don't forget about for equality.
  3. Take three statements from mathematics that interest you, like the definition of continuity, and specify them in first-order logic.
  4. Here is a statement of the theorem describing a translation from Tableau Proofs to Refinement Proofs. Class Theorem 1. For all lists of formulas and if by a Modified Block Tableau of Smullyan (called also Gentzen tableau), then in Refinement Logic where is .

    1. Prove the case of the theorem corresponding to the rules and .
    2. Apply the translation from your proof to these examples
      1. .
  5. Write a summary of Smullyan's proof of the Godël Completeness theorem that reduces to about half a page but covers the key ideas.
  6. Put the following formulas into prenex form.
