Breadth-Search

Add the edges {a,e}, {a,b}, and {a,f}. Find the neighbors of e. The only neighbors of e are a and b, which are already included, so go to the next vertex, b. Find the neighbors of b. Since the only neighbors of b are e, a, and f, which are already included, go to the next vertex, f. Find the neighbors of f. The neighbors of f are c and d, both of which have not been added. Add the edges {f,c} and {f,d}. Repeat this procedure on c and d. Since the neighbors of the vertices c and d have been added, you have completed the search.

Hasse Diagram

In a Hasse diagram, each element is shown by a labeled point. However, unlike digraphs, Hasse diagrams have very few edges - only lines depicting relative precedence of the elements. To create a Hasse diagram, use the following rules: If x ⪯ y, then make the x element appear lower in the diagram than y. If x ⪯ y and there is no z where x ⪯ z or z ⪯ y, then draw a segment connecting x and y. In Hasse diagrams, self-loops are removed and the transitive and reflexive properties are assumed.

Gaussian elimination

Step 1: Find the current pivot of the first column. The current pivot is the first nonzero entry in a matrix column. Step 2: If the current pivot is not in the first row, switch the first row with the row that contains the current pivot. Step 3: Perform elementary row operations using the current pivot so that all entries below the current pivot are zeros. Step 4: Repeat steps 1-3 for the submatrix containing all entries below and to the right of the current pivot. Step 5: Stop when the entries below each pivot are zero.

Gaussian Back Substitution

Step 1: Identify the corresponding system to the augmented matrix in reduced echelon form. Step 2: Solve the last equation for the basic variable. If the system does not contain any free variables, then the basic variable has a unique value. If the system contains free variables, then write the basic variable in terms of the free variable. Step 3: Substitute the unique value or expression for the variable into the equation above to obtain the solution for a different variable. Step 4: Repeat steps 1-3 until a unique value or expression is found for all variables.

Gauss-Jordan Method

Step 1: Perform forward elimination. Step 2: Scale the pivots by multiplying each row by the reciprocal of the corresponding pivot entry. This step should result in having 1s along the diagonal. Step 3: Perform elementary row operations using the rightmost pivot so that all entries above the rightmost pivot are zeros. Step 4: Repeat step 3 for the sub matrix containing all entries above and to the left of the rightmost pivot. Step 5: Stop when the entries above all pivots are zero.

Matrix Multiplication

To get the entry of the product of two matrices, denoted (AB)ij , multiply the first row of A with The first column of B. This is called the row-column rule. Matrices do not have to be the same size to be multiplied, but their inner dimensions must match.

Proof by contrapositive

To prove "If A, then B": Assume "if not B, then not A" and use a direct proof to prove the original statement is true.
