The DATA0 state (D0 = 1, D1 = 0) corresponds to a Boolean logic 0, the DATA1 state(D0 = 0, D1 = 1) corresponds to a Boolean logic 1, and the NULL state (D0 = 0, D1 = 0)corresponds to the empty set meaning that the value of D is not yet available. The two rails aremutually exclusive, such that both rails can never be asserted simultaneously; this state is definedas an illegal state. A quad-rail signal, Q, consists of four wires, Q0, Q1, Q2, and Q3, which mayassume any value from the set {DATA0, DATA1, DATA2, DATA3, NULL}. The DATA0 state Page 12.911.4(Q0 = 1, Q1 = 0, Q2 = 0, Q3 = 0) corresponds to two Boolean logic signals, X and Y, where

. “Theredoes not exist x in Q such that x2 = 2” is an example of theorem that, if one encounters whilereading and using SRG, should be written in this block.Proof Analysis Proof is a way of communicating a mathematical truth to others. It is a convincingargument in mathematical registers. While reading a proof, it is important to note some of thedetails that were omitted by the author, for some authors either assume that the omitted detailsare obvious or comprehensive to the reader. So doing proof analysis allows the reader to retracethe logics that were put into writing the condense version of the proof. It also brings thetechniques the author used to prove a particular proof to come to the surface, hence making theproof more understandable. In

flexibility, i.e., it must have a sufficient number of manipulated variables that must belocated so that the objectives can be achieved. The selection of the proper manipulated variablesis not obvious, so that students should be taught to rely on fundamentals and innovation whenproviding flexibility. A nice example is adjusting the distillation condenser for control pressure.Flexibility analysis builds on the design equation, Q = U A (∆T), which shows that flexibility ispossible by adjusting (1) the heat exchanger area (A), (2) cooling temperature (∆T), or (3) thecoolant flow rate (U and ∆T). Each of these approaches is used in practice, with the proper
