Chapter 0, pages 5-12 due January 17

1. Well, today's reading officially made me terrified to write proofs... To think the whole meaning of a sentence can change with one word! (I think that's what they were trying to tell me in all those grammar classes...) I think the most difficult thing for me today was just reading and knowing that I need to keep track of so many important phrases and not mix them up.

2. Now that I've done the reading, I feel like I know the secret now as to why you can actually be assigned "reading" in a math text book, and then proceed to read it, despite the fact that you're reading about numbers. I enjoy how clean everything looks when it's written properly. I probably never would have noticed how much better things look when written professionally, if it weren't for the examples contrasting the two. It makes a huge difference to do something so simple as start a sentence with words rather than symbols.
