WEEK 10  
M: Equinumerosity, finiteness, countability. Equivalence relations and ordering relations. Partitions induced 
      by equivalence relations. 
      5.15. Definition. Equinumerosity. 
      5.16. Definition. Finiteness, countability, uncountability. 
      6.1. Definition. Reflexivity, symmetricity, antisymmetricity, transitivity. 
      6.2. Definition. Equivalence relations, ordering relations. 
      6.3. Example. (a) Equality on a set A.
                              (b) Congruence modulo k on Z  (k is positive)
                              (c)  R on the Euclidean plane: <a,b> \in R iff a,b have the same distance from the origin. 
      6.4. Definition. Equivalence class of x with respect the equivalence relation R: [x]R, the partition induced by R. 
      PROBLEMS FOR DISCUSSIONS: Book, p.120: Exercise 26, 29, 31 and p.121: Exercise 34, 36, 37, 39  
W: Partitions. Relationship between equivalence relations and partitions. Quotient map.
       6.5. Proposition. A/R is really a partition, i.e. it splits A into disjoint nonempty sets.
              Example: Equivalence relation from 6.3(c).
       6.6. Definition. Quotient map kR: A --> A/R.
       6.7. Proposition. Quotient map is surjective.
       6.8. Remark. Quotient map is injective iff R is = .
       6.9. Definition. Partition. Equivalence relation induced by partition.
       PROBLEMS FOR DISCUSSIONS: Book, p.121 Exercise 42a, 43, 44.
F: Review
