choose one of Paul's letters from your Bible and read its introduction.

If you were to introduce Paul's work and this letter to a student or colleague, what would you say/write? How would you characterize the importance of Paul in his context and in the location where the letter was written, and in what ways is this letter of importance? In other words, think about Author, Audience, Opponents, and Occasion.

Consider that oil can have 10 levels of quality v. Assume that there are the 10 oil producers that produce at each level and can produce the same amount of oil. The cost of producing oil at level v is 2 3 v. Also assume that oils are sold at the international markets and buyers cannot examine the oil quality directly. Assume that there are a lot of consumers, and that their willingness to pay for oil of quality v is v. i.e., if the consumers knew which type of oil they buy, they were willing to pay $v for it. As consumers cannot tell the difference, when buying, between the different quality of oil, they are willing to pay for the average quality oil. For example, if there were only producers of oil at quality 4 and 6 in the market, then the price the consumers were willing to pay is 0.5 × 4 + 0.5 × 6 = 5.

Which producers would be willing to sell in that price?

Select one of the following cases or find one on your own and provide a summary of the situation that caused the lawsuit related to arbitration to end up in court. How did the court rule and why? Do you agree?

• Mohamed v. Uber Technologies, Inc. 2015 WL 3749716 (N.D. Cal. 2015).
• Nitro-Lift Technologies, L.L.C. v. Howard, 133 S.Ct. 500 (2012).

Let V be the set of all ordered triples of real numbers. For u = (u1, u2, u3) and v = (v1, v2, v3), we define the following operations of addition and scalar multiplication on V :

u + v = (u1 + v1, u2 + v2 − 1, u3 + v3 − 2) and ku = (ku1, ku2, ku3).

For example, if u = (1, 0, 3), v = (2, 1, 1), and k = 2 then

u + v = (1 + 2, 0 + 1 − 1, 3 + 1 − 2) = (3, 0, 2) and 2u = (2 · 1, 2 · 0, 2 · 3) = (2, 0, 6).

Complete the following:

(a) Calculate (1, 1, 1) + (2, 2, 2).

(b) Show that (0, 0, 0) 6= 0.

(c) What is 0?

(d) State a vector space axiom that fails to hold. Give an example to justify your claim.

1.  Prove that for any graph, the sum the degreesPv∈V deg(v) is twice the number of edges |E|. (By “prove” I mean write a few sentences explaining why it is true.)

2. i) At a recent math seminar, 5 mathematicians greeted each other by shaking hands. Is it possible for each mathematician to shake hands with exactly 3 other people? (No one can shake his or her own hand.) To answer the question, please rephrase the problem as a problem about graphs (is there a graph with 5 vertices ...), state your answer, and then explain why you believe your answer.
ii) Write a conjecture about a more general statement. What do you think happens if we have N mathematicians and we want each to shake the hands of K other people?

3. A very special island is inhabited only by knights and knaves. Knights always tell the truth, and knaves always lie. You meet two inhabitants: Zoey and Mel. Mel says, “At least one of us is a knave,” but Zoey says nothing. Can you determine who is a knight and who is a knave?
