Week 6 - Messing with Pennies

Still Proofs

Of course, logically, proofs are quite important for logic, so we're still doing them.

We did get another fun problem though, splitting 64 pennies evenly to get any number between 1 and 64. Now I can ensure my friends don't ask me for money because I'll waste way too much time doing it in the most convoluted way possible. 

Week Missed-Last-Week

Whoops, midterms 'n' all..

So I'm sure everyone else has about seventy things all due around these times, so I managed to forget this assignment from all the other things cascading down upon my head, oh well..

Moving on

This week and the last has been basically concentrating on proofs, proving statements, and proving proofs, with some disproving and fun adventure along the way. Everything's getting longer and more convoluted and everyone is getting more and more lazy, so the course is definitely working its magic. I'm sure we'll all be the perfect compsci graduates with laziness pouring out of every pore in our bodies soon.

Week 4 - Ambiguity

English is really awful..

I know that we technically only talked about ambiguity in the first few days of classes, but the more and more time I learn about the symbolic way to express statements, the more and more English becomes generally ambiguous. On the tutorial exercise, there was one question that could either be read as A and B implies C, or A or B implies C. While the rest of the questions were taken up in relatively short time, this question took maybe 20x longer than the rest, just because of how ambiguous the English statement was.

By this point, I'm predicting that I'll be trying to avoid using as many ambiguous terms as possible in normal conversation, just because of this course. I'm sure people will love talking to me.
