“6120A: Discrete Mathematics and Proof for Computer Science”
(with a focus on “fix” — likely meaning a corrected, revised, or definitive syllabus / topic guide)
Logic and Proofs: Fundamental to the course is learning to construct viable arguments and use techniques such as: (“Let (x) be an arbitrary integer…”) ☐ Is

3. Proof-Writing “Quick Fix” Checklist
Before submitting any proof, check:
☐ Is the proof type (direct, contrapositive, contradiction, induction) clearly stated?
☐ Are all variables introduced? (“Let (x) be an arbitrary integer…”)
☐ Is each step justified by a definition, axiom, or previous step?
☐ Did I avoid starting with what I need to prove?
☐ Is the concluding sentence present? (“Therefore, (P \to Q) holds.”) (“Therefore, (P \to Q) holds
