I had a hard time understanding the proof at the end of 4.3 that involves absolute values. I was a little confused by the sequence of equal signs and greater-than signs on the same line, but once I read it the right way it made sense.
What is the most interesting part of the material for you?
I think the section on proofs using sets was interesting. It looks like most proofs involve showing a function of one or more sets being equivalent to another, which is cool to see. Their equivalence can also be shown graphically.
How long have you spent on the homework assignments? Did lecture and the reading prepare you for them?
I spend anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes on each assignment. The reading serves to get my feet wet in the content, and then the lecture is where I really come to understand the methodology.
What has contributed most to your learning in this class thus far?
Doing the homework has probably expanded my learning the most, because the interesting proofs presented make me think hard about the problem and really understand the section.
What do you think would help you learn more effectively or make the class better for you?
Spending a little more time with the assigned reading might help me better absorb the material and come to class already understanding the content.
