Let Q be the set {(a, b) ∶ a ∈ Z and b ∈ N}. Let (a, b), (c, d) ∈ Q. Show that (a, b) ∼ (c, d) if and only if ad − bc = 0 defines an equivalence relation on Q.

Let B be the set of all binary strings of length 2; i.e. B={ (0,0), (0,1), (1,0), (1,1)}. Define the addition and multiplication as coordinate-wise addition and multiplication modulo 2. It turns out that B becomes a Boolean algebra under those two operations. Show that B under addition is a group but B under multiplication is not a group. Coordinate-wise addition and multiplication modulo 2 means (a,b)+(c,d)=(a+c, b+d), (a,b)(c,d)=(ac, bd), in addition to the fact that 1+1=0.

Recall from class that we defined the set of integers by defining the equivalence relation ∼ on N × N by (a, b) ∼ (c, d) =⇒ a + d = c + b, and then took the integers to be equivalence classes for this relation, i.e. Z = [(a, b)]∼ | (a, b) ∈ N × N . We then proceeded to define 0Z = [(0, 0)]∼, 1Z = [(1, 0)]∼, − [(a, b)]∼ = [(b, a)]∼, [(a, b)]∼...
