SLOG Week 2



This week’s lectures:
This week, we learned how to use the many different logical symbols that we know to create logical statements. We also learned a few new symbols for conjunction, dysjunction and negation. We also learned how to negate logical statements with the negation symbol. There were also slides which talked about the many different laws such as De Morgan’s law, the associative law, commutative law, and distributive law. Aside from this, the lectures this week felt a bit slow since a lot of time was taken to show things with truth tables or venn diagrams. On the Friday lecture, we spent the class solving a problem. This was a nice change of pace and it was pretty interesting

Difficulties:
I ran into a few difficulties this week when trying to translate sentences into logical statements. I got wrong answers at times and at other times, I wasn’t really sure what to do. I should probably read over the course notes and look for some practice problems to fix this.
