Cecilia’s Reflection Week (final)

Dear discrete math classmates, future discrete math classmates, and other people in the world who might be reading this, Hey. I hope you’re enjoying life. I hope you’re enjoying math. I hope you do great things in your life. Good luck with math, and actually study for the final. Oh, and don’t procrastinate on the…

Cecilia’s Reflection Week [?]

I really don’t know what week it is anymore. It could be 31, because my last reflection was week 30. It could be 32, because everyone else is making week 32 reflections. Or, it could be 33 because us discrete math people are unusually bad at doing reflections on time, and maybe it is actually…

Cecilia’s Reflection Week 30

I am writing my reflection today, on Tuesday, not having started my Pizza Hut problems yet. This is probably not a good idea. However, I really felt like I need to get this reflection over with before I do anything else. (Hence, my writing this right now.) This week, we did our namesake graph presentations.…

This week, we learned about binary trees. Binary trees are fun and easy because they only split into two branches at each level, and if you keep on drawing them they become strangely symmetrical shrub-like things that are not messy and confusing like loopy graphs. Binary trees remind of tigger’s family tree. I can’t think…

This week, we did… INSTANT INSANITY! (ANITY, anity, anity, anity…). Instant insanity is an extremely frustrating game in which four (or more) cubes with different pictures on the sides must be stacked so that there is no repeating face on any side. After I struggled with the bird puzzle for two hours, I concluded that…

It is Wednesday night, and I am typing my reflection. My hair is wet because I just came from swim practice, and, sadly, it is neither “touchably smooth” nor smelling like “pink lily” or “Asian silk,” not that silk has a smell anyway. I will move from stating the obvious to this week’s math. We…

I will get a picture later. As of right now, out of this tiny little window at the side of the tech ed classroom, there are no clouds to be observed. This means either extreme goodness or extreme misfortune. I hope that it is the former. This week, we learned more about graphs and trees.…

Greetings, fellow cloudians. This week has been surprisingly depressing. I will refrain from boring you all and discussing why. We learned more graph theory this week. A tree is a connected graph with no cycles. This could potentially look like a tree, but most of the time, tree graphs look like deformed bushes. See picture…

    Greetings. This week, we learned about graph theory. I like graph theory because it is mainly visual rather than abstract like algebra, but it is also really confusing because of all the terms. I think I most definitely failed the quiz/test on graph theory vocabulary. Now, I know that the number of nodes…

This is my reflection week 23, which should be apparent by the title, but since I am feeling repetitive today, I will repeat the subject of this reflection: week 23. That just made no sense at all. The world is such a depressing place. The clouds are especially dreary. Sigh. Anyway, this week we did…
