\section{Dense Orderings} \note[Note]{This section is fairly difficult. If you get stuck here, try the bonus problems on the next page.} \definition{} An \textit{ordered set} is a set with an \say{order} attached to it. \par A few examples are below: \begin{itemize} \item $\mathbb{Z}$ is an ordered set under $<$. \item $\{\texttt{A}, \texttt{B}, ..., \texttt{Z}\}$ is an ordered set under $\diamond$,\par Where $\alpha \diamond \beta$ holds iff the letter $\alpha$ comes before letter $\beta$ in the alphabet. \end{itemize} \definition{} We say an ordered set $A$ is \textit{dense} if for any $a, b \in A$ there is a $c \in A$ so that $a < c < b$.\par Intuitively, this means that there is an element of $A$ between any two elements of $A$. \problem{} Show that the ordered set $(\mathbb{Q}, <)$ is dense. \vfill \problem{} Show that the ordered set $(\mathbb{R}, <)$ is dense. \vfill \problem{} Show that there is a real number between every two rationals. \vfill \problem{} Show that there is a rational number between every two reals. \vfill \pagebreak
