So that test was super fair, I thought. Then I came out and found out I did way worse than I thought I did. In fact, I found out I did 10% worse than last time. So....hopefully we don't repeat this pattern on the final.
Regarding section 12.1...I've never heard of the ceiling of x. Is it the same as what something converges to, but just in different notation? I like this idea of limits. I never liked it until recently, but while we were doing number theory, I couldn't help but think about limits. Turns out the real numbers are awesome (even though they make proofs way harder.) I suppose that us having a point that numbers converge (or diverge) to is useful. Perhaps later in the chapter I will fully understand how this relates to calculus.
Why do I never remember the rules for inequalities. Don't you think I should know these things by now? I didn't realize that if you take the inverse of both sides, you have to switch the sign. Learned that in an example. If that's not true, then I'm officially confused.
I think my confusion for this section boils down to the fact that I can follow the proof, but I have no idea what we're proving or how the proof really proves anything. Usually problems of this variety solve themselves in lecture and when it's not midnight.
Again, nice to see you tonight! Hope your scouts enjoyed the show!
