First Entry

After two weeks in CSC 165, I am already noticing that there are very strong connections between the course material, and the material I have been learning in MAT 137. So far, both courses have put a lot of emphasis on universal and existential claims; what they are, and how to prove or disprove them. Often, I have been able to immediately apply what I learned in MAT 137 to the lesson in CSC 165, which has really helped me to understand the material in both courses; back on Monday, I learned about negation in math, which made today's lesson on implications, converses, and contrapositives much easier to grasp. We have also learned about claims related to the empty set, which I think will be very helpful in tomorrow's lesson about vacuous truth. I found the work in the tutorial to be pretty straightforward, so overall, I'm feeling confident in my understanding of the material so far, and eager to see what's next.
