SLOG #3

These last two week have been the start of some challenging stuff. At the beginning, chapter 2 seemed real difficult, with all the equations and rules to remember, however, things looked more difficult than they actually were. After spending some time and becoming familiar with the rules and equations, labs and assignment became easier. The hardest part about this section, probably was  the translation between English and Symbolic form. Considering the fact that there is just so many ways to state one thing, questions can become quite confusing at times. In addition there are also some important keywords such as "yet" or "unless", that aren't that straight forward when you're translating to symbolic form.
So chapter 2 definitely came with some challenge, but lucky for me, chapter 3 wasn't too bad. Other than getting a simple grasp on the structure and learning the procedures, the proofs themselves weren't that hard. Although i'm sure this was due to the lack of more complex questions, which we will probably see later on!
