Week 5: Feb 10 - 16

Not much to write....proofs are still hard for me. I have the formatting down thankfully but the actual proving part feels more like I'm just writing random stuff down and hoping for the best. I also don't know how to prove things false. I just assume that everything I'm given is true which so far it has...

Also, the graphs we're doing in class. What is the point of them? Are they a concept we're supposed to be tested on or are they just there to confuse us even more  help clarify things? If so I don't think it's working.... if not then can we get more practice with them in tutorial or extra questions with them or something?

I'm still worried for the next assignment. I like how we get part marks for writing the structure. I also have no idea how to view or what the importance is for the assignment #2 LaTeX source file. It just looks awfully confusing. Is the formatting supposed to be like that? :S

In other news I did pretty good on the assignment and the test so I think I have a decent grasp on the previous concepts.

Week 3+4: Jan 27 - Feb 9

Been busy with midterms and essays this week. The course has definitely picked up and I'm feeling more and more behind. Proofs are confusing and I don't really understand how to come about proving anything. I can read a proof and understand it but making my own from scratch seems downright impossible at the moment. It seems very math based and math has never been a subject I do well in. I still like how the professor  gives us time to discuss among others and solve a question on our own before taking it up in class. This keeps me motivated to concentrate during the lecture and try to understand it at least.

We had the midterm yesterday. I had expected more to be covered and I was also hoping for some English to symbols and vice versa translations like I'd seen on the past test as I'm sure I would have done much better on those. I had a hard time with the 2nd question where I had to determine which one was true or not. I'm a bit wary as to why all the questions involved negation because if I did it wrong for one I must have done it wrong on all the others.... Overall, other than that I think I did alright. It helped the the midterm seemed to cover only the very beginning of the course and not what we're doing now... I don't understand much of what we're doing now to be honest....
