courSe LOG Entry 9

This week, we learned more about proving big-Oh and big-Omega. We learned about proving if a function is in the set of big-Oh that equations are not given. I can understand most of the part of the proof process. However, I still cannot fully understand the definition of big-Oh notation. I don't really understand the quantifiers when applying them into real problem. We are going to have a two day break next week so that it will be a great chance of reviewing the stuff we learned recently.

In this week's quiz, the question is really similar to the sample questions in the problem set. The instruction taught in tutorial section is more detailed than the material in the lecture. It is helpful as usual.

What is going to be challenging is the third assignment. My former teammate seems to not be willing to form a group with me again since my understanding of the course is not strong. I fear I may get a bad mark for this assignment. I am having trouble accessing course website right now. I hope I can view the assignment as soon as possible so that I can be prepared.

I think I did terribly in the second term test. I got a lot of marks off for question 1 and 3, which I am confident about and I know what the solution is. I think my problem for these two questions is that the proof format is not neat. I really should have written an aid sheet in advance. If it is not allowed, I don't need pull it out. If it is allowed, it would be really helpful. I am going to get my test next week and to see my problems.
