2.1-2.4, due on September 8

DIFFICULT
Section 2.2 poses some potential difficulties, for example: ~P : The integer 3 is even.  Remembering the syntax of "~" used in statement notation could be rough.  In section 2.3, I had a hard time understanding when a disjunction was true or false.  In section 2.4 I didn't quite understand the truth table for implication.

REFLECTIVE
Section 2.1, although not mathematics, reminds me of English.  As I was reading section 2.2 I got excited to see what things I will further learn in Math 290.  This chapter seems to be the beginning of the math language of proofs, I guess that's why I got excited when I read through 2.2.  Other than my few questions above, this chapter doesn't seem too tough.
