Bijective proof

In combinatorics, bijective proof is a proof technique for proving that two sets have equally many elements, or that the sets in two combinatorial classes have equal size, by finding a bijective function that maps one set one-to-one onto the other. This technique can be useful as a way of finding a formula for the number of elements of certain sets, by corresponding them with other sets that are easier to count. Additionally, the nature of the bijection itself often provides powerful insights into each or both of the sets. (Wikipedia).

Injective, Surjective and Bijective Functions (continued)

This video is the second part of an introduction to the basic concepts of functions. It looks at the different ways of representing injective, surjective and bijective functions. Along the way I describe a neat way to arrive at the graphical representation of a function.

Proof that if g o f is Injective(one-to-one) then f is Injective(one-to-one)

Please Subscribe here, thank you!!! https://goo.gl/JQ8Nys Proof that if g o f is Injective(one-to-one) then f is Injective(one-to-one). Given two functions f : A to B and g: B to C, we prove that if the composition g o f: A to C is an injective function then f is also an injective function

Proving a Function is One-to-One and Onto

This video gives an example of how to show that a function is both 1-1(injective) and onto(surjective). In other words we show that the function is a one-to-one correspondence(bijection). The example given involves a function which maps the set of all 2 x 2 matrices with real entries into

The Contrapositive and Proof by Contrapositive

The contrapositive is a powerful tool that can be used to prove various mathematical statements. It is most useful when a direct proof is awkward or impossible, and - if it can be used - is often a much more elegant method that employing proof by contradiction. #proof #contrapositive #proo
