Homework 2

Due Thursday, February 2 at the start of class.

  1. Find proofs for the following sequents:
    1. P -> (P -> Q), P |- Q
    2. -P -> -Q, Q |- P
    3. P |- (P -> Q) -> Q
    4. P & (Q & R) |- Q & (P & R)
    5. P & Q |- P v Q
    6. extra credit: -(-P v -Q) |- P & Q
  2. Show that the sequent P v Q |- P & Q is unsound, by finding actual propositions for P and Q such that the assumption is true and the conclusion false.
