Questions, due on October 3

Which topics and theorems do you think are the most important out of those we have studied?
The most important topics include the methods of proofs (direct, contradiction, contrapositive). The basic definitions of sets are also important, as are truth tables and understanding when statements are equivalent.

What kinds of questions do you expect to see on the exam?
I expect some questions about set operations, truth tables, statements, biconditionals, and proofs by various methods.

What do you need to work on understanding better before the exam? Come up with a mathematical question you would like to see answered or a problem you would like to see worked out.
I need to be sure to remember theorems like De Morgan's laws, so I can convert statements to simpler form in proofs.

My math question:
Prove that π is irrational.
