Week 3

Hey guys, this week started with all speed. We had an amazing class this tuesday, although I was a little tired because I had a hard and busy day. I tried to enjoy the class as much as i could and it was very worthwhile. We covered a great part of our material about math language.

Here follow the elements of the language math covered today:
Conjunctions, Disjunctions, Negations, Truth tables and Manipulations laws.

As we can see we were introduced to a lot of scary names but with a good look at the content and a good dose of patience we were able to really understand each one of them. I started to feel more comfortable with this content now. I'm starting to understand the questions faster than before, understanding how all those symbols work and knowing what they mean. The students are being very cooperative during the classes, several of them are being very nice interacting during the class, solving questions, etc. As I said some posts before the content is not that hard but also is not so simple so if you feel some difficulty doing or studying these subjects go practice, start to solve questions, the slides have an wonderful material.

If you're doing well keep it up !!!

Haaaa, and before I forget I just want to say that the tutorials are very nice, although we had some problems finding a classroom this week but it happens. The activities during the tutorials are very helpfull, so we can have a little idea about the questions that will be asked in our midterm.

So, that's it. This was our third week, I am looking forward to see what will happen during the next weeks.

Week 2

The week two started with a huge amount of content at least for my view point. We had a great class, learning about some elements of the math language such as: quantifiers, verify/falsify, sentence, statement, predicates, implications, equivalence ...................... and the list does not stop here.
With all this content i started to understand all those symbols that before looked just messed up, now they are beginning to make sense. I´m still not familiar with all of them. I still need some time to read and go through all the content again to really understand everything.
I can say that the best form to practice not only this content but all the subject related with math is doing some exercises, they are very helpful. The slides are very explicative and they have a lot of examples that makes easy to understand the content.
Looking forward to see what we gonna learn next.

Week 1: First class and expectations

Well, let's start. First, I want to say that this is work, writing in a blog, is kind of new for me so, I hope to do a good work here.

This experience with the SLOG will be very helpful during the course and I will be able to help some classmates through some of my notes here. Although we only had one class, I'm really enjoying taking this course i liked the way the professor leads the class. He is very funny, this way the class seems more interesting and it make the time pass flying without let he class become boring.
I have good expectations about this course, have to confess that this huge name  mathematical expression and reasoning for computer science scared me at first time but now i'm more comfortable with the content. I want to improve my skills and also get new ones during this course to become more prepared when i take some more advanced courses in the future.So just to finish, our first class was very nice, i hope that it keep this way. I know that this course is not easy and we have to put a big effort to finish it but if we keep paying attention at classes, going to tutorials and doing the assignments we gonna conclude this course very well.
