1.1-1.2, due on September 8

1.  (Difficult)  Answer the question "Did you carefully read the entire assignment, and what was the most difficult part of the material for you?"  Note that "nothing" is not an acceptable answer. If nothing challenges you, then you should think about the material at a deeper level and generate some honest questions.

•  I read the assignment carefully. The most difficult part was trying to work through some of the examples. Example 1.2.3 was particularly hard- because of the sub- and superscripts, epsilons, etc, I'm still not completely sure I follow how it got where it did. I tend to understand the gist of what they're saying, but unless I try to dissect the examples, they can be difficult to follow.

 2.  (Reflective)  Write something reflective about the reading. This could be the answer to the question "What was the most interesting part of the material?" or "How does this material connect to something else you have learned in mathematics?" or "How is this material useful/relevant to your intellectual or career interests?"

•  This course is quite interesting. I've taken several CS courses, but until now I really didn't understand what O(f) or o(f) meant, or why they were important. As my concentration is in Computer Science, seeing how the theory applies to the math and vice-versa is really interesting to me. I'm also getting to see why the math side of things is so important.
