Week 10 and 11

The thing I found most difficult in the past 2 weeks was disproving that functions are in Big Oh of other functions. Even after reviewing the slides I was still confused, and since there was no tutorial this week I ended up having to look online. I was able to find a document which really helped me to organize my thoughts and see what I knew in a very structured format. This helped me quite a bit, but I am still having trouble with this. I may ask about this in tutorial next week if I still don't understand it.

We looked at the halting problem and computability in lecture this week and it made sense to me. I had seen a Computerphile video on the topic a few months ago and now that we've covered it in more detail in lecture I understand what the video was saying and more.

Week 9

Assignment 2 was due this week and I still had trouble with the questions involving Delta Epsilon proofs. I was unable to complete them on the assignment but I am going to keep trying. The other questions on the assignment made sense and I think that I did well on those questions.

We had a term test on Wednesday and I think I did alright. One of the questions was a Delta Epsilon question and I wrote a proof structure for it but I was unable to complete it. The other two questions made sense and I think that I got them mostly right.

In lecture we looked at proving Big Oh and I had a little bit of trouble but I haven't had a lot of time to review it because I was studying for the test so I think that once I practice more I will be able to do the proofs.
