We're two weeks into the class and I feel like things are going pretty smoothly so far. What we have done so far has not been too complicated as they are just the basic things to know before getting into much more difficult things like proofs.
Something new that I have learned is how to verify and falsify
quantifiers. I have experience doing this in other classes but I never
knew that there was just one general goal you would try to show to verify/falsify each quantifier.
The fact that everything so far has been explained well and we are given
a number of examples is the thing I have enjoyed the most so far about
the class. I have done most of the things we have learned so far in other classes
but I never really understood a lot of it before doing it in this class. This has me feeling fairly confident about the material learned so far although I will obviously need to spend more time doing exercises for practice and to make surely I truly grasp all the concepts.
The one thing that is a little challenging is the everyday language of implications. There are so many different ways to say an implication and a lot of times it does not seem like the sentence is even implying anything. I will have to look over the notes and remember each of the general forms of an implication so that I can identify implications easier.
