WEEK 2 + 3

Update from Week 1: I think I have an understanding of the material! The tutorial really seemed to have helped. For Week 2, we continued with some quantifiers and started to examine statements. I understood what the symbols meant in each basic statement, but I came into trouble when we started to discuss negation and contrapositive. When negating statements, I was not certain on where to apply the negation. This then stumped me with the contrapositive of statements since the contrapositive is the negation of the converse. Again, with the help of the tutorial, I was able to get some understanding about my issue.

For Week 3, we touched upon conjunction, disjunction, negation transformation and De Morgan's Law. The topics of conjunction and disjunction were fairly straightforward. Negation transformation helped me realized where to push the negation and how it changes some of the symbols. Assignment #1 was also given during Week 3. At first, I had a lot of confusion with the topics discussed in Week 2 and 3, so the assignment looked daunting and almost impossible for me to do. However, with the help of tutorials, I think I will be able to do well on it!
