1. Show that  m+1=1+m=S(m)  for all natural numbers m.
2. Show that  m+n=n+m  for all natural numbers m, n.  (This may require more than one inductive proof.)
3. Use Theorem 0B to prove that the set of 1-variable polynomials with rational coefficients is countable.

A set of sentences closed under entailment is called a theory. That is, T is a theory if  whenever T entails a sentence phi, then phi is in T.  If A is an L-structure, then the theory of A, written Th(A), is the set of all sentences true in A.
1. Prove that Th(A) is a theory.
2. Prove that Th(A) is a maximal consistent set of
sentences .
 3. Show that if  A is an L-structure with the property that every element of A is named by a constant in L, then Th(A) is a theory with witnesses.
