Yes, the date above is wrong, but I'm a bit late at writing this, so... I'll try to not confuse too many people from now on. I'll try to keep my CSC165 way by writing a post after every lecture.
Distractions aside:
After all the administration and stuff, I finally get the first taste for this class. We start with basic "principles of simple induction" that was taught in CSC165 as well, but I'm not so sure whether this was a review or not.
Again, the uncomfortableness started again, at times I still can't believe how much time and energy is saved from relaxing the structure of a quick induction proof. For lazy people like me this is a good thing, but without the support of a properly placed structure, I get confused rather easily.
The proof in the course is also not that hard to begin with, as I did the question (and it's many variations) back in high school. I could still recall with horror the brutality of my high school "Algebra and geometry" test/exam. The experience from that course, even if it is horrible, did get me prepared for most of university courses.

I hope that our exam won't be a shock compared to the course work. There's no way around a 3-hour exam being a fairly stressful episode, but we can try to reduce it a bit.
