This week's material covered different varieties of proofs, and how to go about writing them.
some of the different scenarios covered this week were including case by case, proof of the negative.
Overall this week was pretty challenging with the introduction of looking at limits while also taking a look at proofs using floors and ceilings of a variable. Limits have always been a bit of a struggle for me so it was even more challenging having to look at limits and see how they translate from english to symbolic form. I also had never seen the function 'floor of x' which made the first few examples with the function pretty difficult to follow but that only lasted the first few days of this week.
In terms of the most important stuff that I took away from this week was writing proofs using case by case as well as proving the negation of a statement since it allows you some flexibility in deciding whether or not you want to prove or disprove any given statement.
