This week was our second midterm, and I felt like it went pretty well. I only wish I had more time to write it! The questions were appropriately challenging, and I felt like they were a twist on our second assignment. I will look forward to getting the solution to it, because there were a few times when I had an idea of where to go but couldn't exactly figure out how.
After the test, we moved on to proofs related to Big Oh notation. I quickly realized that this was the hinge between the mathematical proofs and the computer science. We took a look at some examples and techniques to prove whether a polynomial function was in Big Oh. With enough practice, it seemed like it will be a straightforward procedure. Then we moves to logarithmic functions and learned about L'Hopital's rule. I found it interesting but felt a bit lost yet again. I am already looking forward to assignment 3, because they've been the most helpful way to learn everyhing so far. I like how this is all tying back to computer science though, and I am eager to see where this all goes.
