  1. a.) Prove (−1)(a) = (−a).

b.) Prove that a > 0 implies (−a) < 0.

  1. Negate the statement “there exists a positive number δ such that for each natural number m there is a natural number k larger than m so that |fk − fm| < δ.”
  2. a.) Define countability.

b.) Sketch a proof that the set of rationals numbers is countable.

  1. Let A be an nonempty subset of IR. a.) Define ‘upper bound’ for A.

b.) Define ‘least upper bound’ for A.

c.) Prove that if β = l.u.b. A, then β is an upper bound for A, and if  > 0, then there exists a ∈ A such that β −  < a.

  1. a.) Prove that IN is not bounded.

b.) State and prove the Archimedean principle.
