Exam 1 study guide
- This exam will be covering lectures 1-15
(up to and including October 19).
- You should be familiar with all the terminology we have defined.
- You should know the correct statements of the results we have
proved so far, so that you can apply them properly.
- All homework problems (and problems just like them) are fair game!
- You should have an idea of how the smaller results are proved.
- You do not need to memorize the following proofs:
- Dilworth's theorem.
- Erdos-Ko-Rado theorem.
- Lemma from lecture 5.
- Kruskal-Katona theorem.
- Hall's theorem.
- Lecture 11: Theorem 18.4
- Of course all of the RESULTS listed above are very important, and you
need to know them well, so that you can apply them correctly.
- You will be mainly asked to prove some new results, so make
sure you have your "tool box" ready.
- Some problems on the exam may throw you off at first.
Make sure that you get a good nights sleep, so that you are fresh,
rested and ready to go!
