Term Test # 1
Today we had our first term test. As expected, three proof questions. It was pretty fair and we had enough time.
For some reason, when doing proofs using induction I find my mind looking for a direct mathematical proof instead of an induction proof and I have to remind myself almost every ten seconds that remember that this is a proof using induction. It's as if my mind is working against me. Today, for two of the questions I got carried away looking for a way to "derive" the result instead of trying to "verify" it and spend almost 70% of my time doing so. But, fortunately I got back on track and was able to make it just in time.
And here's this week's lecfun taken from week 5, slide 3:
