1. The most difficult part of today's reading for me was the truth tables. I found myself having to double check that I was following the correct variable and statements. Prior to this class, I think I read through things very quickly and didn't seem to pay too much of a cost for that. But this class is so far not allowing me to be hasty in the reading. There are so many statements and variables and symbols to follow! I loved reading about implications though, and keeping the statements to a simple 'P' and 'Q' helps me to understand.
2. The most interesting thing to me today was reading about implications. I had never thought that if you have a pair of statements that aren't both true, the implication can still be true. If one of the statements turns out to be false, the implication can still be true, because it wasn't proven false. This idea kind of blew my mind, because I had previously always thought that for an implication to be true, both statements had to be true.
