Please note that these problems come from the seventh edition of the United States version of Discrete

Mathematics and Its Applications by Kenneth Rosen. The international edition may not contain the same problems in the same places so be sure that you are using the correct version of the textbook. Also realize that the odd-numbered problems have answers in the back of the textbook and in most cases are very similar to the even-numbered problems, so if you are having trouble figuring out a problem try to work a similar even problem. Collaboration: While you are allowed to work with other students on these problems, do not give your solutions or receive solutions from another student. To do so will be considered cheating. Collaboration means working together as more or less equal partners to find solutions or to double check for similar conclusions. It is not a free ticket to cheat. Never succumb to pressures from others to hand over your homework solutions. Again that is cheating - on both accounts - giving and receiving. Keep in mind any problems that say "show" that something is true, it means to PROVE it, do not simply give cases that it works for. Assignment Section 1.1 2. Which of these are propositions?
