% The following two environments (claim, proof) are
% where you will enter the statement and proof of your
% first problem for this assignment.
%
% In the theorem environment, you can replace the word
% "theorem" in the \begin and \end commands with
% "theorem", "proposition", "lemma", etc., depending on
% what you are proving.

\begin{claim}{(Page P1 $\#$ 2)}
The number $\sqrt{2}$ is irrational.
\end{claim}
\begin{proof}
Replace this text with the details of your proof. You may want to use the symbol $\mathbf{N}$ for the natural numbers. Mathematical symbols go between dollar signs, e.g. $A$, \emph{not} in plain text. If there are more symbols you want, such as $\in$, $\notin$ $\cup$, $\cap$, $\{ \}$, you can find them at \url{http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html}.
\end{proof}

% Second problem

\vspace{1in} % You are welcome to draw figures by hand. This command adds vertical space.
\begin{theorem}{(Page P1 $\#$ 7)}
Replace this text with the statement of the theorem you are proving.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
Replace this text with your proof.
