Week 5

Just completed week 5. I've done numerous quizzes (which were pretty good) and a term test.

The test was manageable, but I wasn't think through the last question properly. I had to create 3 sets to prove one statement false and another true. I set one of them to be even numbers and the other to be odd. I don't know why I didn't just sign a few numbers to each of the sets. Halfway through the question, I realized I interpreted the statements wrong but I had no time to change it. So that was pretty upsetting.

Apart from that question, the rest of the test was pretty good.

We are starting to go into proving mathematical claims now, which was never really something that I was good at.
What I've gotten from class so far is to assume the things stated in the antecedent, and somehow use that and tweak it so that it resembles the consequent. It might sometimes be easier to try and work out the consequent first so that we know what we should be doing to the antecedent.

Lastly, while studying for the term test, I actually tried to figure things out with truth tables and yes, it works.
