Discrete Structures...

I've been putting it off and putting it off, and now this semester I'm finally taking the Discrete Structures course.

Well, I must say, it makes me want to slit my wrists! Maybe it'll get better, but seriously, (p->q) ^ (r or !q) -> who gives a sh$t!

I know it relates to gates and circuits, but man, i really want to shoot myself!

Anybody else's thoughts on Disrcete Structures?

It sounds like pure logic. That course is probably purely to cause other things to make sense. On its own its relatively boring.

Required course?

Ja, it's boring. That's what's bothering me. BTW, I've been to Utrecht before, I used to live in Wurzburg, Deutschland. Typically though we just follwed E35 toward Utrecht en route to Amsterdam! $\:D/$

Unfortuanetly, yes, it is required.

Man check out Discrete Structures by C.L Liu ...
It is somewhat fun .. But It mainly depends on
who teaches it to you....?? Errr is your teacher
good enough...

Never heard it called 'discrete structures'. Mine was called 'introduction to computer mathematics', and it is REALLY REALLY REALLY useful when it comes to digital logic. You won't know how you managed before you knew it when you get down to optimising karnaugh-maps

Code: Select all

(p->q)^(r v Â¬q)
(p v Â¬q) ^ (r v Â¬q)
(p ^ r) v Â¬q

That's what I get. Am I right? Haven't done it for a year and a half

p -> q becomes Â¬p v q rather than p v Â¬q (an implication holds when the either the implied is true or the premise is false)

Damn you combuster! I'd just noticed that and was going to subtly change my post!
