Difficult: There are a couple of questions I have from reading the text. Are there only two ways to use quantification, specifically the universal quantifier and the existential quantifier? I'm also still not quite clear on distributing negations to these statements. It gets confusing because you have to change both the quantifier and the statement? Is that always the case? Otherwise, these statements can be very handy, and I can tell why they will be important in proofs.
Interesting: These past two units have been so helpful as I have been taking Math 391R. When I walked it there on the first day and saw all of their Greek letters and notation, I pretty much died on the inside. Everything went over my head and I had no idea what they were talking about. But as I have been learning all this notation, I have been slowly catching on to what they're saying. Not close enough yet to be proving abstract formulas like some of the juniors and seniors in that class, but closer than before. And hey, that's all I can ask for, getting better each day!
