SNEAK Link to comic: xkcd.com/704/ Hi blog people, By far, contradictions are my favorite kind of proof. I mean, I like all proofs, or proving anything; give me a point to prove, and, unless a)there is absolutely no way that you can be wrong or b) I am incapacitated (see induction proof), you will be…
你 好!(Hi in Chinese) This week, I learned a lot about mathematical induction. While it is helpful, after the first few inductions, where you get this miraculous feeling when you find how to prove the statement, it gets more and more laborious. But all in all, I am confident that it will prove very useful…
This week meant: more proofs! But this time, instead of being standard proofs like in geometry, they were proofs by mathematical induction. Most of my annoyance at proofs in Geometry and Algebra ii mostly came from having to check my theorems/postulates sheet every 30 seconds because I did not know which proved the statement I…
Hey, it’s the start of a new quarter and hopefully also the start of even more fun stuff! We’re learning about sets! Ha ha; some people were jealous that we got to draw on our homework *cough cough*. Anyway, it’s been an interesting first part of the year, and hopefully your quarters have been very…
Inductions. What cruel, sinister person would dare to create such a thing. Not only are they confusing, but they require work (I know. Whoa)! This week’s CTQ’s were fairly easy, although i may not have gotton the reason for calling it “strong” induction correct. Right now, though, math is far from front of my mind. I…
It’s the day before the the day that the blog post is due, and I’m STILL the first one! It’s the same situation as week 1. Edit: Sarah posted her reflection like 1 second before I did, my bad. I made an invalid statement here. I didn’t do much related to Discrete Math this week,…
Hello, it has been another week (yay Halloween is coming up!) and the weather’s been getting more… fall/winter-like. An example – the rain everywhere on Jacob and Allen’s school field trip to Mount Vernon. I think the fifth graders got to go to Mount Vernon starting from last year.. so our grade missed it. Darn.…
Hello everybody! It’s already another week gone by, and we don’t even have class this week.. :-/ But anyways, some things to talk about in the homework. Did you find it hard? We’re supposed to do it for two weeks, so it’s supposed to be hard, I guess. I found that it wasn’t that hard……
