Hi all,

Just posting to give an update. I think my problem is too easy I had it pretty much figured out in my head, it would take me not too long to write it out after that. I think I need a new idea (Danny, any ideas?).

I seem to be understanding the course work. I haven't had much time to commit to it as life has gotten in the way. When I'm in class it all falls into place in my head. I didn't do so great on the midterm, but it's due to a common problem with me, things seem so obvious to me that I don't write them down and then I lose marks for not writing them down. But I am doing really well on the quizzes so it's not so bad.

So long for now,

Wendy

Week 4 Begins

A quarter of the way through the semester ALREADY. It always goes so fast.

Last week I got my first assignment for this course done. I didn't have a lot of difficulty with it.

I was impressed with myself with the way I solved question 4. Instead of combining the two related claims about binary strings, I proved only the claim about strings beginning and ending with the same bit. I accomplished this through my induction step. I went to the next string by inserting an arbitrary bit in the center (or Ceil(n/2)), thus preserving the same bit at each end. I thought this was clever.

I can see how one would prove this using the combined claim, but I wanted to see if my way would work and it did!

My plans for this week are to start the tutorial #2 problems. I have looked them over, I just haven't sat down to work them out. This is assuming my CSC209 assignment won't hog all my time. At least I got the assignment for this course finished so I'm not rushing on that.

On a side note, I wish my door didn't let in so much noise so I could still be asleep.

So long.
