First Week of CSC236

After a long and fun summer, school resumed again, time flew by quick and soon the first week of school is over.

First week we learned about induction, concepts were fairly easy as i had done inductions in high school as well as in mat137.  However, the ways of the write up were a bit different as we did not had to deal with predicates, and we only had to prove left = right side, but now there is a few more explanations to do instead of just a few lines of algebra.

i like Danny's new way of teaching by using his tablet and the projector. The new contrast of black and neon green reduces the con of reflections by the light on the blackboards causing some of the things he writes unclear or fuzzy.  And now he wouldn't need to erase the board and just add a new page when his page becomes full :)

This has been a while (or maybe a few years) since i've ever wrote a blog, mostly because i am too lazy and maybe i just like to remember things in my head.  I don't think i'll have a lot to say this week as nothing much went on this week as it's the first week of class, (not much hw, etc), maybe i'll have more things to write next week as the weeks get busier and things i learn grows.

All i can probably say now is onto problem set 1 and assignment 1 haha and a very very busy upcoming year :D

I hadn't thought of that --- I might lose time by writing more slowly on the tablet, but gain it by not having to erase boards. On the other hand, I was able to use the time I was pushing the erase across the board to collect my thoughts.
