Software translates input signals to output signals


A program is a constructive proof of a translation
But what translation?
Proofs can confirm that software works correctly
Testing cannot confirm software correctness
Practice with proofs improves software thinking

Tiling with Dominos
a mathematical proof – just for practice
Dominos – size matches board

Adapted from Singh, Fermat’s Enigma, Walker & Co, 1997


Problem
 cover board with dominos
 no overlapping dominos
 no dominos outside board
How many squares on board?
So, how many dominos will it take?
checkerboard with One domino covers how many red squares?
two missing corners 31 dominos cover how many red squares?
How many red squares are there?
Yikes! What’s wrong here?

How To Find a Million Dollars
using logic
Three Doors

Adapted from Smullyan, The Lady or the Tiger, Times Books, 1982
 Behind one is a million dollars Where’s the jackpot?
• Why not A?
 Behind another is a Palm Pilot
• Why not B?
 Behind the other is a melting Popsicle
• Must be C, eh?
A B C Bonus question:
Palm Popsicle Palm Where’s the Palm Pilot?
Here Behind C Behind A • Door C speaks the truth –
the Palm Pilot is behind A
so palm here if $$$ here … popsicle here
• Door B lies –
so C sign correct
LT it has a Popsicle, afterall
TI
Signs on Doors If it was so, it might be;
$$$ door: true statement and if it were so, it would be:
 Popsicle door: false statement but as it isn’t, it ain’t. That’s logic.

Tracing a Square and Its Diagonals

Problem
Start at any corner
Trace some line to another corner
Then trace from that corner to another
 Keep going until all six lines are traced
Square + Diagonals  Don’t trace any line more than once
(crossing OK, but not retracing)

Solution revealed in the next lecture

Homework #1

Problem under “Assignments” tab in


course website
It’s a hard problem
You don’t have much mathematical
apparatus, yet, to attack it
Grade based more on thoughtfulness
and well-expressed ideas than on
solutions
