Question 15

A major focus of this course is learning how to assess mathematical reasoning. How good you are at doing that lies on a sliding scale. Your task is to evaluate this purported proof according to the course rubric.

PS2_Q15.pdfPDF File

Enter your evaluation (which should be a whole number between 0 and 24, inclusive) in the box. An answer within 4 points of the instructor’s evaluation counts as correct. [5 points]

You should read the website section “Using the evaluation rubric” (and watch the associated short explanatory video) before attempting this question. There will be many more proof evaluation questions as the course progresses.

NOTE: The scoring system for proof evaluation questions is somewhat arbitrary, due to limitations of the platform. But the goal is to provide opportunities for you to reflect on what makes an argument a good proof, and you are allowed to repeat the Problem Sets as many times as it takes to be able to progress. Your “score” is simply feedback information. Moreover, the “passing grade” for Problem Sets is a low 35%.
