4.3-4.4, due on September 24

DIFFICULT
Section 4.4 I know will be especially hard for me since I didn't quite understand the material back when we first discussed it at the beginning of the semester.  I understand the basics of set operations, but I have a hard time visually understanding it still.

REFLECTIVE
Section 4.3 seemed pretty intuitive and easy to understand.  The section was just like the other proofs that we have done, the only difference is involving Real Numbers.  With this addition of Real Numbers we can be more versatile in writing proofs.

ANSWERS
On average I would say the homework has taken me 1.5-2 hours to complete.  Although the first LaTex assignment took me 4 hours, now this is absurd to me.  If the first LaTeX assignment took 4 hours to complete then the other LaTeX assignments will probably take me longer to complete, I just don't have time to teach myself the language of LaTeX and write proofs.  I love to read, but I just can't follow textbooks or solutions manuals very well.  So after reading I'm not sure how much I can remember.  The lectures however are helping prepare me for the assignments more than reading the subject material before class.  I believe lectures have contributed the most to my learning, then the assignments, then the subject material readings.  I take very detailed notes while in class, I actually think I have over 20 pages thus far, so I think my note taking is good.  I enjoy your lectures and find them easy to understand.  I would just like to see harder examples of proofs in lecture as most of our assignments contain harder/more confusing proofs than the examples shown in class.  I would also like to see more LaTeX syntax in class.
