If X be a topological space and A subspace of X, then a point x E X is said to be a cluster point of A if every open ball centered at x contains at least one point of A different from X. In the preliminary sections, review of the interior of the set X was discussed before the major work of section three was implemented.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

1. Chapter 1- Preliminaries
1.1 History of Algebra
The word “algebra”-al jebr (in Arabic)
• was first used by Mohammed Al-Khwarizmi -muslim Math.
• ninth century, when taught mathematics in Baghdad.
• means “reunion”,decribes his method for collecting the terms
of an equations in order to solve it.
• Omar Khayyam, another Mathematician, defined it as
the science of solving equations.
Elementary Algebra (Classical age of Algebra)
• its central theme is clearly identified as the solving of eqs.
- method of solving linear, qudratic, cubic, quartic equations.
- 1824, Niels Abel – there does not exits any formula for
1
equations degree 5 or greater.
2. Modern Age
• new varieties of algebra arose
connection with the application in math to practical problems.
- Matrix Algebra
- Bolean Algebra
- Algebra of vectors and tensors
- ~200 different kinds of algebra.
• the awareness grew
- algebra can no longer be conceived merely as the
science of solving equations.
- It had to be viewed as much more broadly as a
branch of mathematics.
revealing general principles which apply equally to
all known and all possible algebras:
* What is it that all algebras have in common?
* What trait do they share which lets us refer to all of
them as algebras? Algebraic Structure
• Abstract Algebra (Modern Algebra) -more adv. course
2
The study algebraic structures.
3. 1.2 Logic and Proof
Undefined Terms
- Understand these terms and feel comfortable using them
to define new terms.
Important Terms
• Statement or Proposition
- Declarative sentence that is either true or false, but not both.
• Postulates
- Statements that are assumed to be true.
• Definition
- A precise meaning to a mathematical term.
3
4. • Theorem
- A major landmark in the mathematical theory.
- Postulates and definitions are used to prove theorems.
- Once a theorem is proved to be true, it can be used.
• Lemma
- A result that is needed to prove a theorem.
• Corollary
- A result that follows immediately from a theorem.
• Example
- Is not a general result but is a particular case.
• Proof
- Mathematical argument intended to convince us that
a result is correct.

5. Conjunction, Disjunction and Negation
Definition:
Let P and Q be statements.
i) The statement P AND Q, P ∧ Q,
is called the conjunction of P and Q.
ii) The statement P OR Q, P ∨ Q,
is called the disjunction of P and Q.
iii) The negation of P is denoted by NOT P or ~ P
Conditional and Biconditional Statement
Conditional statement: “If P then Q”, P ⇒ Q.
Biconditional statement: “P if and only if Q”, P ⇔ Q.
5
6. Quantifiers
Consider a statement P(x) :
x >5
- Statement P(x) is depending on the variable x.
- Adding quantifiers can convert statement P(x) into a
statement that is either true or false.
• Universal quantifier
(∀)
P(x) is true for all values of x, denoted by
∀x, P ( x)
or
For all x, P(x).
For every x, P(x).
For each x, P(x).
P(x), for all x.
6
7. • Existential quantifier (∃)
There exist an x for which P(x) is true
or
For some x, P(x).
P(x), for some x.
: ∃x, P ( x)
Example
1.
∀x ∈ R, x −1 = ( x −1)( x + x + 1)
3
2
- True or false statement? Why?
2.
∀x ∈ R, x + x − 6 = 0
2
- True or False statement? Why?
3.
∃x ∈ R, x + x − 6 = 0
2
- True or False statement? Why?
7
8. Proofs
- Many mathematical theorems can be expressed
symbolically in the form of
P ⇒Q
Assumption
Or
hypothesis
Conclusion
may consists of one or more
statements.
- The theorem says that if the assumption is true than the
conclusion is true.
- How do you go about thinking up ways to prove a
theorem?
• Understand the definitions
• Try examples
• Try standard proof methods
8
9. Methods of Proof ( P ⇒ Q)
1. Direct Method
• find a series of statements P1,P2,…,Pn
• verify that each of the implications below is true
P →P , P →P2 , P2 →P3 .....Pn −1 →Pn and Pn → Q
1
1
Example
An integer n is defined to be even if n = 2m for some integer m.
Show that the sum of two even integers is even.
Proof
9
10. 2. Contrapositive Method
• may prove ¬Q → ¬P
Example
Proposition:
If x is a real number such that
x + 7 x < 9, then x < 1.1
3
2
Proof
10
11. 3. Proof by Contradiction
• assume that P is true and not Q is true (Q is false)
• will end up with a false statement S
• Conclude that not Q must be false, i.e., Q is true
Example
Proposition:
If x is an integer and x2 is even then x is an even integer.
Proof
11
12. 4. Proof by Induction
• assume that for each positive integer n,
a statement P(n) is given. If
1. P(1) is a true statement; and
2. Whenever P(k) is a true statement, then P(k+1) is also true,
• then P(n) is a true statement for every n in positive integer.
Example
Prove:

+ ... +
=
1• 3 3 • 5 5 • 7
(2n − 1)(2n + 1) 2n + 1
Proof
12
13. 5. Proof by Counterexamples
• Sometimes a conjectured result in mathematics is not true.
• Would not be able to prove it.
• Could try to disprove it.
• The conjecture in the form of ∀x, P ( x )
• Take the negation: NOT (∀x, P ( x ))
Equivalent to:
∃x, NOT P ( x)
• Hence to disprove the statement
∀x, P ( x)
need only to find one value, say c, such that P(c) is false.
• The value c is called a counterexample to the conjecture.
13
14. Example
Let x be a real number. Disprove the statement
If x2 >9 then x >3.
Solution
Remark
• To disprove the conjecture in the form of
∃x, P ( x)
cannot use counter example!!!
Its negation is equivalently in the form of ∀x, NOT
Need to show that P(x) is false for all values of x.
• To prove
P ( x)
P ⇔ Q : Prove P ⇒Q and Q ⇒P
