End of Course

This was a very interesting course and I enjoyed the logic and proving we did. I remember when I first started the course I was completely dumbstruck by the symbols. Now I feel like that was so long ago. Danny has taught me so much about logic. Never have I imagined before this that logic could take so many forms and have so many different possibilities. Anyways, I really liked this course and wishes everyone good luck on the exam.

Test 3

I have mixed feelings about this test. For the first 2 questions, I'm absolutely confident I got perfect or near perfect, but for some reason, I can't get the 3rd question at all and left it blank. Better to leave it blank than make up random stuff. I have no idea what caused me to blank out like that but all I can say is if I blank out during the test, it means that I simply haven't prepared well enough. No excuses are allowed.

Assignment 3

The assignment 3, as expected, was the hardest one yet. Managed to get most of the proofs done which I'm quite proud of but had to leave one question blank since it was better to leave it blank then to make up random junk trying to sneak past the TA's eyes. The test is on 06/12/10 so I do hope the answers get uploaded fast enough because they are excellent study material and really helps in showing what I need to work on and got wrong

Big-Oh

      Okay, so we're learning about the big-oh formula/theorem. I find this material to be much harder than what we've done so far. From what I can make of it, it's used for proving that something is the upper bound of something else by using their greatest power/degree. I can get most of the easier ones but when it comes to the harder ones I have a feeling it's more like trying things out and hopefully finding a connection. I'm going to have to spend some times practicing this I believe
