SLOG #3

I am really interested in learning about proofs and it intrigues me at how different mathematical proofs are in structure compared to logical proof.  I like the structure for logical proofs more than mathematical proofs because it is very clear in terms of how the proof flows whereas in mathematical proofs, its almost an abstract structure.  I definitely enjoyed learning the proof structure because it makes sense to me why its organized the way it is.  There was not any new challenging content in this weeks' lectures.  I feel very confident about the material covered this week.  This week's content was very similar to MAT137's content about the epsilon, delta proof of a limit.  One of my achievements was doing a proof outline for logical statement.  I believe that my tutorial test went really well and was fairly easy to do.

SLOG #2

I found this week's class to be very similar to the content of computer engineering course back in high school such as logic gates and truth tables which is why I found this week's content to be easy to understand.  The only difficulties I had this week was translating words into logical statements because I'm not entirely sure what some words such as 'unless' translates to symbolically. I really enjoyed learning how to negate statements and applying de Morgan's law to negating.  After reviewing the slideshow a couple more times, I'm feeling a lot more confident about the materials covered this week.  One of my achievements this week was learning how to translate some English phrases to logical phrases.  I believe that my test in tutorial this week was fairly easy and I hope that I got perfect on it.

SLOG #1

I never learnt logic in high school so I have no experience on the topic and because I have no prior knowledge on the concept, I found it very enlightening when I first encountered the concept in CSC165.  I could understand the material presented before in a way that I haven't thought of before.  The change in the thought process from the way I usually think was pretty astonishing and this new way of thinking with logic instead of just common sense was very much a great experience over all.  I had encountered parts of the logic but was never formally introduced to the topic until now and this new-found insight into logic has proved to be most interesting.  I found being able to code such logic in the form of functions in python very interesting,  I found that reading the implications behind the functions; however , challenging.  I definitely feel more confident in the week one materials now that I have reviewed the slideshow a couple of times and did the tutorial exercise.  The tutorial exercise was fairly straightforward and honestly much easier than I had expected the exercise to be.  The quiz was also much easier than I had expected it to be.  I will continue to try my best in learning the course material and practice applying the new material in the exercises,
