Reading Week!


The professor dealt with a various methods of proving statements this week. Honestly, I could know the exact meaning of ⌊x⌋ through this course. Actually, I didn't know that "∀x ∈ R   y = ⌊x⌋"  has this complicated symbolic meaning  "y ∈ ℤ ∧ y ≤ x ∧ (∀z ∈ ℤ, z ≤ x ⇒ z ≤ y)" and conclusively, "∀x ∈ ℝ, ⌊x⌋ ﹥ x -1".
I realized that the symbolic expression which seems very simple could contain a complicated and sophisticated meaning in it.

Next week is reading week! I think I should read some reference books about proof and review mathematical terminologies for the next step, especially I am going to check the terms such as б, ԑ, ⌊x⌋, ⌈x⌉ and so on.
