How to start this week’s reflection? That is the question I have been asking myself for the past twenty-two minutes, blankly staring at my computer screen. This week was not particularly exciting. We learned about Boolean Algebra, which is basically another way of expressing logic notation and set notation, except with different symbols. I didn’t…
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…
I’m first post again. I gloat. I finished all my homework except for the test so far. (10/1/2011 edit): I have finished all my homework! The test wasn’t too hard but the wording of the logic problems confused me a bit. At the beginning of the year, when we started learning math with logic, I thought,…
My computer is, once again, unhappy. I have a white bar on my screen that WILL NOT STOP FOLLOWING ME. Milestone moment: 1st picture not made by me! Hi blog people, It always depresses me to learn that there are people lying in this world. Not to say I’m perfectly honest (although I am ).…
Oh dear! Week three already! So many things have happened since August 30! First article of business: Go listen to the recordings that I made. They’re horrible because I’ve been focusing on other songs like Awake the Harp, but I need more comments. I didn’t want you to read the first paragraph and then walk…
This is Colin’s Week 2 reflection. Considering how crazy-looking the symbols in symbolic logic are, I decided this week at school to try and see if I could convince people I was learning Norwegian, which I later learned was spoken in the northern U.S. To my surprise, some people believed me! Most however, were skeptical.…
Woot. What a week. When the math homework piles up, my frustration piles up as well. But this week, the homework really wasn’t bad. It was even slightly interesting. Let’s start with the oh-so-wonderful people of Smullyan’s Island. Teachers have given us this problem before (obviously), but, I, not being good with logic, have never…
I will be a bit awkward doing my first reflection because first things are always awkward. Siempre. I’m also an awkward writer, especially of nonfiction. I always thought that I could figure out a way to do problems like the envelope or Josephus problems. This week I learned that it involves complicated math that I…
Hellooo everryyybodyyyy This is week 35 to be sure, right? Anyway, this week was an ok week besides all the end of the year stuff that’s been cramming into this last… MONTH before school’s out (who knew… its seems so long, yet so short..) Already, my mind’s blanking and I have no idea what to…
Hey everybody, Happy Thanksgiving! It’s been a cold day… my hands are still kind of numb while typing this. I hope everyone’s had a good day, though! Even though we’ve had time to do our homework (which is due NEXT week…) an extra week, somehow I’ve been busy this week so I haven’t finished it,…
