SLOG #7

Unfortunately due to certain circumstances at home, I haven't been able to post as regularly as I'd like to. I have been reading other students' SLOGs and have come across some very interesting ones. I found the following blog very humorous but insightful at the same time: http://1d10terror.blogspot.ca/. I really enjoy how you can gain a sense of progress in the course through reading his SLOGs. As Michael said in his blog, I should have done the problem solving episode much earlier on, but I will complete it before the end of this week. Similarly, Assignment 3 isn't too challenging but manipulating the inequalities is what was taking a little bit of time. At first, using the proof of a limit that approaches zero was confusing me but gladly it was covered in the tutorial. Now I have completed the first four questions and the last one is the one that still confuses me, even after the quiz, which I know I did poorly on. I understand the structure and the proof by contradiction, but I'm still having a tough time coming up with the actual halt function itself. It seems to make sense when Maria explained it during the tutorial but when I attempt the problem myself, I can't seem to figure it out. I am going to review the tutorial exercises and the course notes until it becomes clearer. Another SLOG that interested me was the following: http://chargaslog.blogspot.ca/. It seems as if Charga and I tend to have the same problems in common, such as feeling off track, which is what makes it interesting to see that I am not the only one who feels this way.
