This week we finished covering the how to on full translations of statements from english into symbols. This week also included the introduction of nomenclature behind implication statements (defining the antecedent and consequent), vacuous truths and a brief introduction to manipulating statements in different ways. This included negations, contrapositives, and converses.
Overall this week was a lot easier than the first week because I could start to recognize and quickly translate symbols to english which allowed me to understand the problems in class. The specific tasks that we covered in class were not too difficult, but were definitely not familiar to me and we only did an overview of negations. Heap promised that negations would get harder so I'll take his word for it. Memorizing the format of contra-positives, converses and negations have been a bit difficult but it should come with time.
