Errors in week 1 contents

1. Video lectures:
(a) Lecture-1.1(Natural numbers and their operations)
Time- 19:15
Error: If a | b then a mod b = 0
Correction: If a | b then b mod a = 0
Explanation: The instructor states that “if a divides b then a mod
b = 0”, which is not correct. It should have been “if a divides b then
b mod a = 0”
(b) Lecture-1.5(construction of subsets and set operations)
Time- 3:46
Error: The set of perfect squares is {1, 4, 9, 16,......}
Correction: The set of perfect squares is {0, 1, 4, 9, 16,.....}
Explanation: The set, Professor writing on the screen should start
with the 0 i.e. the set will be {0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25}.
(c) Lecture-1.5(construction of subsets and set operations)
Time- 4:08
Error: The set of rational numbers in reduced form is { pq | p, q ∈ Z,
gcd(p, q) = 1}
Correction: The set of rational numbers in rational form is { pq | p, q ∈
Z, q 6= 0, gcd(p, q) = 1}
Explanation: In the set comprehension for the set of rational numbers
in reduced form, q 6= 0 should be included in the slide.
(d) Lecture-1.5(construction of subsets and set operations)
Time- 15:28
Error: Complement of the set of prime numbers in N is the set of
natural numbers.
Correction: Complement of the set of prime numbers in N is the set
of natural numbers, except 0 and 1.
Explanation: Prof. has said “complement of the set of prime numbers
in N is the set of composite numbers”. It is not true as 0 and 1 are
neither prime nor composite.

1
(e) Lecture-1.7(Examples of Set Operations and Counting Problems)
Time- 1:10
Error: Complement of the set of prime numbers in N is the set of
natural numbers.
Correction: Complement of the set of prime numbers in N is the set
of natural numbers, except 0 and 1.
Explanation: Prof. has said “complement of the set of prime numbers
in N is the set of composite numbers”. It is not true as 0 and 1 are
neither prime nor composite.
(f) Lecture-1.9(Relations: Examples)
Time- 2:35
Error: A × B × A = {(1, 1, 1), (1, 1, 4),.....(7, 49, 16), (7, 49, 49)}
Correction: A × B × A = {(1, 1, 1), (1, 1, 4),.....(7, 49, 4), (7, 49,
7)}
Explanation: In the slide the last two elements of the set A × B × A
should be (7, 49, 4), (7, 49, 7).

2. Practice assignment solution Pdf:


(a) Question 3 solution:
Error: The set of all natural numbers which divide 100 is { 2, 4, 5,
10,.....50}
Correction: The set of all natural numbers which divide 100 is {1, 2,
4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100}
Explanation: 1 and 100 also divide 100. So, the set of all natural
numbers which divide 100 contains 1 and 100.
