I was going into CSC236, feeling skeptical about how well I would do in this course and how much I would enjoy all of the rigorous proofs where great portions of the proof seem redundant. But after the first lecture and taking a look at the course outline and marking scheme, I have a good feeling about this course.
The first concept we learned this week was Simple Induction (aka Mathematical Induction), and it holds true to its name because it is simple. I must admit I like algebra, so a lot of the proofs we do with Mathematical Induction I actually find enjoyable. I never though I'd say this about any kind of proofs. I'm actually looking forward to next week's tutorial and quiz, and it doesn't hurt that we don't have lecture on Wednesday.
