Log Two

This week was a lot more challenging than the previous one, mostly due to the tutorial exercises and further application of the "implication" sign. Although the majority of the tutorial questions were simple to understand, it was harder to visualize answers for questions like "no course has more than two prerequisites". Compared to universal and "there exists" types of claims, questions that involve specific numbers seem to have much more complicated answers. This becomes an even bigger problem for me when the "implies" sign is used as I don't have any prior experience in utilizing it, making it easy to mix it up with the conjunction sign. It'll probably get easier to understand with more practice, which means this will be less of an issue as time goes on. As for the rest of the lectures, I've worked with circuits and logic in the past so most of the laws and concepts are just review.

First few days in CSC165 and everything is moving along smoothly. So far none of course work, concepts, and quizzes have proved to be too challenging. Everything up to this point has simply been a brief review of general concepts. Hopefully there will be many more interesting topics to come as the course goes on.
