1. I understood and followed everything in the reading, I am just struggling with the application of why we would care that there is some value for which a statement is true or false. Don't we want to specify what that value is? The only reason I can see for why we would use this statement is so that we can know that an open sentence can be solved. Luckily, so far the lectures have been helping me to see some kind of application...hopefully this will be no exception.
2. This is exciting! Math is starting to make so much sense now! I loved reading about the proofs of the associative law, distributive law, commutative law and De Morgan's laws. I started to see some form of application. Without working too hard, we can tell if two statements are going to be true or false. I was also pretty grateful that while I was reading all the complicated examples, instead of feeling overwhelmed, I felt like the big jigsaw puzzle was being put together quite nicely. I think I'm getting the hang of all these symbols.
PS: I hope your vacation is going well and isn't too tainted by still having to read our blog posts.
