2.1-2.4, due on September 8

The most difficult part of the material for me was the new vocabulary and also the truth tables.  There were a lot of writing examples which was new for a math course.  At first the truth table didn't make sense because I was looking at the example which had 4 truths, whereas the table only showed one.  Then I realized that the table was not depicting a ratio, but just that the answer is either true or false.

The reading about the implication in section 2.4 reminded me of the form of a hypothesis if...then that I have used in science course like chemistry.  I wonder if I do use the mathematical expression in a lab report, it may be informal rather than writing it out.  The story reminded me of another course, where the professor will give us an A if we get an A on the final.  He called it the repentance method.
