Big O

A have to say, while proofs had me feeling more confident in this course, that confidence was immediately crushed when we started to learn big oh. I have no idea what is going on. I'm doing my best to understand and keep up, but then with each lecture, I'm again struggling to stay afloat. When people help and explain it to me it makes sense, but when I try it on my own.... less success. Unfortunately, my plan for now is to just not give up with the hope that eventually the crucial missing link will click.

Proofs And My Assignment Mishap. :(

The past couple weeks, we worked on proofs. We proved many things that were very obviously true or false at first glance which was very difficult at first since I couldn't get over the face that they were so obviously true by looking at them! But once I figured out the thought process to do these, I found them much less daunting. The second assignment, I found, was tough, but much easier than the first assignment, probably because now I am used to all the symbolic notation (unfortunately, I sleepily submitted it to somewhere on the CSC148 markus so there goes my 8%....).
Anyway, I'm pretty excited to do this midterm, I think. I feel really ready for it.
