	We say an integer $x$ is \textit{even} if $x = 2k$ for some $k \in \mathbb{Z}$.
	We say $x$ is \textit{odd} if $x = 2k + 1$ for some $k \in \mathbb{Z}$. \par
	Assume that every integer is even or odd, and never both.

	\vspace{2mm}
	\begin{itemize}[itemsep=4mm]
		\item
		Show that the product of two odd integers is odd.

		\item
		Let $a, b \in \mathbb{Z}, a \neq 0$.
		We say $a$ \textit{divides} $b$ and write $a~|~b$ if there is a $k \in \mathbb{Z}$ so that $ak = b$.

		Show that $a~|~b \implies a~|~2b$

		\item
		Show that $5n^2 + 3n + 7$ is odd for any $n \in \mathbb{Z}$.

		\item
		Let $a, b, c$ be integers so that $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$. \par
		Show that one of $a, b$ is even.

		\item
		Show that every odd integer is the difference of two squares.

		\item
		Prove the assumption in the statement of this problem.

	Let $r \in \mathbb{R}$. We say $r$ is \textit{rational} if there exist $p, q \in \mathbb{Z}, q \neq 0$ so that $r = \frac{a}{b}$

	\vspace{2mm}
	\begin{itemize}[itemsep=4mm]
		\item Show that $\sqrt{2}$ is irrational.
		\item Show that the product of two rational numbers must be rational, while the product of
		irrational numbers may be rational or irrational. If you claim a number is irrational, provide
		a proof.

	For a set $X$, define its \textit{diagonal} as $\text{D}(X) = \{ (x, x) \in X \times X ~\bigl|~ x \in X \}$.

	An \textit{undirected graph} $G$ is an ordered pair $(V, E)$, where $V$ is a set, and $E \subset V \times V$
	satisfies $(a, b) \in E \iff (b, a) \in E$ and $E \cap \text{D}(X) = \varnothing$.

	The elements of $V$ are called \textit{vertices}; the elements of $E$ are called \textit{edges}.

	\begin{itemize}[itemsep=4mm]

		\item Make sense of the conditions on $E$.

		\item The \textit{degree} of a vertex $a$ is the number of edges connected to that vertex. \par

	\problem{}
	Let $f$ be a function from a set $X$ to a set $Y$. We say $f$ is \textit{injective} if $f(x) = f(y) \implies x = y$. \par

	Let $A, B, C$ be sets, and let $f: A \to B$, $g: B \to C$ be functions. Let $h = g \circ f$.

	\vspace{2mm}

	\vspace{2mm}
	\begin{itemize}[itemsep=4mm]
		\item Show that $\{E_1, E_2\}$ is a partition of $E$. \par
		In other words, show that $\varnothing \neq E_1$, $\varnothing \neq E_2$, $E_1 \cup E_2 = E$, and $E_1 \cap E_2 = \varnothing$. \par
		\hint{What does this mean in English?}

	\theorem{The Division Algorithm}<divalgo>
	Given two integers $a, b$, we can find two integers $q, r$, where $0 \leq r < b$ and $a = qb + r$. \par
	In other words, we can divide $a$ by $b$ to get $q$ remainder $r$.

	\problem{}
	In this problem we prove the binomial theorem:
	for $a, b \in \mathbb{R}$ and $n \in \mathbb{Z}^+$\hspace{-0.5ex}, we have
	$$
		(a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^n \binom{n}{k}a^kb^{N-k}
	$$
	In the proof below, we let $a$ and $b$ be arbitrary numbers.

	\vspace{4mm}
	\begin{itemize}
		\item Check that this formula works for $n = 0$. Also, check a few small $n$
		to get a sense of what's going on.

		\item Let $N \in \mathbb{N}$. Suppose we know that for a specific value of $N$,
		$$
			(a + b)^N = \sum_{k=0}^N \binom{N}{k}a^kb^{N-k}
		$$
		Now, show that this formula also works for $N + 1$.

		\item Conclude that this formula works for all $a, b \in \mathbb{R}$ and $n \in \mathbb{Z}^+$\hspace{-0.5ex}.

		\item We say $R$ is \textit{symmetric} if $(x, y) \in R \implies (y, x) \in R$.
		\item We say $R$ is \textit{transitive} if $(x, y) \in R$ and $(y, z) \in R$ imply $(x, z) \in R$.
		\item We say $R$ is an \textit{equivalence relation} if it is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
	\end{itemize}
	Say we have a set $X$ and an equivalence relation $R$. \par
	The \textit{equivalence class} of an element $x \in X$ is the set $\{y \in X ~\bigl|~ (x, y) \in R\}$.

	\problem{}
	Four travellers are on a plane, each moving along a straight line at an arbitrary constant speed. \par
	No two of their paths are parallel, and no three intersect at the same point. \par
	We know that traveller A has met traveler B, C, and D, and that B has met C and D (and A). \par
	Show that C and D must also have met.

	\begin{solution}
		When a body travels at a constant speed, its graph with respect to time is a straight line. \par
		So, we add time axis in the third dimension, perpendicular to our plane. \par
		Naturally, the projection of each of these onto the plane corresponds to a road.

		Now, note that two intersecting lines define a plane and use the conditions in the problem to show that no two lines are parallel.
	\end{solution}
