    HW 2

    Verify each of the following:

    a. 79 > 66 ____ b. 34 < 88 ____

    HW 3

    State whether each set is closed under addition and/or subtraction of whole numbers. Provide an example if it is closed, or provide a counterexample if it is not closed.

    a. {0} b. {0, 2, 4, ...}

    HW 9

    Subtract 3586 from 8204 each algorithm from this module. State the method for each.

    HW 10

    Write the addition table for Base Four.

    HW 11

    Someone does the following computation in a certain base, but is making a mistake. What base were they working in and what is the mistake? 132 + 243 = 320. What is the correct answer? Be sure to show work.

    HW 12
