assignment 3

I find that using limits really reflects the true understanding of a limit and how to interpret them, what i dont get is the format in which we have to structure the proof using the limit. the indentations and the information given by the limit is hard to match the indentations and what information should we make clear from the limit definition.

Big O and Big Omega

I do not understand why im finding this material a lot more challenging than anything else, I understand the concept behind Big O and Big Omega, but I have problems trying to find the ns, bs, and cs for each proof.

Test 2

I found this test to be pretty easy, the first two question were the basics we learned and practised in tutorials and in class. the third question I found that it was really testing our knowledge and our capabilities to put everything we have learned together, even though I found it challenging, I believe this type of questions really pushes us to fully understand the material.

Assignment 2

I found this assignment very helpful, and re-assuring of our capabilities to use the material that we learn in class, I found that it really made us understand and practice. The only question i had great difficulty understanding was the last question   GCD, even though it makes sense make up the contradiction, I found that without the TAs help or the profs help i would never have been able to come up with the proof.

Counting Steps

I dont get how to count steps!!!
I understand how it depends on the size of the array, but when it comes to over estimate so that all the terms have the same variable is very confusing.
It seems like we just manipulate it so that it works!!!

Exercise 5

This weeks exercise has been the most challenging!!!
I understand the proof structures but i find really challenging to come up with the in between part, specially when it seems so obvious or when we have to use precise definitions.
I found the first question to be really helpful to check basic understanding of proofs.
The second and third questions where a bit more challenging but i liked that it gave us the chance to disprove something in  the right format instead of just presenting a counter example.
What i have not been able to fully understand was question number 4

test 1

The test was really fair for what i was expecting.
For the first part i think list comprehensions are a good way to demonstrate ones abilities to read and understand code as well as to understand the logic behind them. I got confused with the or statement, and by accident treated as a and. I also found a little bit hard to visualize the inputs and outputs for P(x).

The second part was a little bit unexpected, I was lucky to be taking mat 137 and work my way through it. Epsilon Delta questions are always challenging.

Part three was sooo easy that I mixed up the terms, I think i got it right the first time, but i found that as i reread them i started doubting my self.
