Professor Jenkins, I had this blog post typed last night, but I guess I accidentally saved it as a draft instead of publishing it. I apologize, but don't worry about changing it in the gradebook, since it was my mistake.
Difficult: Holy cow, this section was a whole lot to take in!! Given I've never dealt with epsilon before, it was quite easy to get lost in the Greek letters. I understand the logic of what we must prove (I was able to write it using quantifiers! Yeah!) However, the biggest difficulty for me was figuring out how to choose each delta. It makes sense for linear expressions, but once we get to quadratic, polynomial, and rational expressions, I got lost where we were going.
What do they mean by upper bound? They never clarified what that was exactly referring to.
Interesting: This is really interesting, because in my Calculus AB class, to find limits we just looked at graphs and said the limit existed. But now we can prove it!! I feel pretty cool when I win at these.
