9 down, 3 to go. Not only this course, but the entire semester has been moving by so quickly. This week felt pretty quick as well. We had our second Term Test and overall, it was straightforward. I feel like I did better on this test than I did the previous test. I had trouble proving the second claim. It involved using the definition of the floor of a function and disproving a conjunction. I knew that when disproving a claim, you have to negate it. Since it was a conjunction, De Morgan's Law had to be used, which resulted in a disjunction. With disjunctions, proof by cases had to be used. This was all I was able to come up with, so I was only able to write the structure. I'm hoping that I get a better mark than last time.
This week was also the due date for our second assignment. I felt fairly confident handing in the assignment, but when the solutions were posted, I realized that I had proved 2 false statements and falsified 1 statement. I'm truly hoping that I get part marks for my reasoning. As for the material covered, we just covered more Big O functions. I am getting a little more comfortable with Big O and Big Omega, but like proofs, I still need more practice. I think like all the material covered so far, the assignment will provide me with some clarification on certain aspects. Wish me luck for the next 3 weeks!
