Hello!! This is my first slog for csc 165. So far this course is not really what I expected. Being that the name of the course is Mathematical Expression and Reasoning for computer science, I had expected the course to focus more on math skills like calculus but the course seems to be more about expression and effectively communicating information.
So far we've covered topics such as universal and existential quantification and have learned how to use venn diagrams to visualize these problems. We've also covered implications and have compared them with everyday language which I found very interesting. In lecture, we did an activity where we determined which segment of sentences was the assumption and which was the conclusion based on P=>Q ("P implies Q"). This I found to be very helpful in understanding since we incorporated ways of communication that I'm used to, like talking, with more mathematical ways of communication, which made the concepts easier to understand.
Overall the course is not really what I expected but I think with effort I will be able to do okay. The material is explained in a way that I understand, which helps a lot. I'm looking forward to learn more in this course next week :)
