Intense Preparation Time

So next week is the second midterm and I really really really really want to do well on it.
I've been practicing a lot more of proofs and seem to get the hang of it.
What bothers me is if I have to 'disprove' something. Only because usually then we have 'there exists' instead 'for all' and finding an example that fits is usually so time consuming.
I'm still really anxious about how am I going to manage it in the midterm because I have enough time on the assignment  but no one is going to allow me 20-30 mins for that one question.

Anyway, mostly done with A2 and the office hours were actually helpful and Larry cleared a major doubts quite easily.

(Fingers crossed for A2 and midterm !!! )

PS- Goodluck to everyone else too !!!

I can't think of post names anymore...

Floor -> the largest integer less than or equal to that number
Ceiling -> the smaller integer greater than or equal to that number

So this is what we are working on now. 

The concept seem easy but the proofs are a whole new thing. It's not exactly difficult but it does seem a little complicated.

I'm hoping to do well on A2 to make up for the midterm mishap. Its due in just over a week now and I feel like this time I'm going to start going to office hours.

More Proofs !!

So, as expected I didn't do great on the midterm but surprisingly I didn't do that terribly ! Thanks to whoever corrected my paper and was so lenient in the correct ! :)

 In class we've continued doing proofs. I'm not sure of how well I'd be able to do them if I wouldn't have had a little bit of understanding from MAT137 already.

We also did disproving by taking the negation.

The class was cut short due to thanksgiving holiday. 

Week 5 ...!

Midterm Troubles...

Sooo...midterm !
I have to say, not really my best test. I knew I'd practiced similar questions but in that moment, when I was squeezing my pencil super tight and everyone around me seemed to know everything on the paper, I was sitting there with a blank mind.
Looks like I have to work on my test fear.. :(

Moving on .. we started proofs ! I feel like this is where the course gets intense.
I'm hoping the proofs are similar to the ones in MAT137 in some way or other.

Hopefully my spirits will be higher for next week!

(Hope the grading for the midterm isn't that severe !! )
