+\li Which rule of inference is used in each of these arguments?
+
+{\startlist
+    \li Richard is a Computer Science major. Richard is a Computer
+    Science major only if he attends Georgia Tech. Therefore, Richard
+    attends Georgia Tech.
+
+    This is modus ponens. With $p$ ``Richard is a Computer Science
+    Major,'' and $q$ ``he attends Georgia Tech,'' we have $p\impl q$ and
+    $p,$ concluding $q.$
+
+    \li Discrete Math exams are fun or Python is a boring language.
+    Discrete Math exams are not fun or Rohan is a TA for Discrete Math.
+    Therefore, Python is a boring language or Rohan is a TA for Discrete
+    Math.
+
+    This is resolution. With $p$ ``Discrete math exams are fun,'' $q$
+    ``Python is a boring language,'' and $r$ ``Rohan is a TA for
+    Discrete Math,'' we have $p\lor q$ and $\lnot p\lor r,$ concluding
+    $q\lor r.$
+
+    \li If it snows today, the school will close. If the schools are
+    closed, then you will not go to class. Therefore, you do
+    not go to class, if it snows today.
+
+    This is hypothetical syllogism.
+    Let $p$ ``it snows today,'' $q$ ``the schools will close,'' and $r$
+    ``you will not go to class.'' We have $p\impl q$ and $q\impl r,$
+    giving us $p\impl r.$
+
+    % hypothetical syllogism
+
+    \li You are a Discrete Math student whenever you are a Computer
+    Science major. You are not a Discrete Math student. Therefore, you
+    are not a Computer Science major.
+
+    This is modus tollens.
+    With $p$ ``you are a Computer Science major,'' and $q$ ``you are not
+    a Discrete Math student,'' we have $p\impl q$ and $\lnot q,$
+    concluding $\lnot p.$
+
+    % modus tollens
+}
+
+\li Using rules of inference, show that the premises below conclude with
+$d.$ Give the reason for each step as you show that $d$ is concluded.
+Each reason should be the name of a rule of inference and include which
+numbered steps are involved. For example, a reason for a step might be
+``Modus ponens $(2,3)$''

+conclude with ``Yoshi wins the race, and Luigi rides a bike.'' Be sure
+to define all propositional variables for full credit (for example, you
+may define ``$t:$ Toad gets lost'' as one of your propositional
+variables). Remember, it is possible that you will use all premises, but
+it is also possible that some are not needed.
+
+\ul
+    \li Toad gets lost, and Luigi rides a bike.
+
+    \li If Luigi does not ride a bike, then Wario cheats.
+
+    \li Rosalina is the best princess in the race.
+
+    \li Wario does not cheat, or Toad does not get lost.
