So it's hardly believable that with November coming to a close, the fall semester is almost at its end. Things are getting busy again, what with our final assignments and tests coming our way, and then the dreaded finals before we're off for Christmas break. Looking back, this course seemed way more intimidating than I'd expected it to be back in September. Looking at things like studying induction (always frightened me), program correctness (had no clue how you can mathematically prove a program is correct), formal languages and context free grammar didn't exactly seem all that easy to understand. So to be really frank, it really isn't that bad. Not to mention, it's also pretty interesting stuff.
I'm glad that I'm able to understand some of the theory behind computation and programming. Formal languages gave me a new perspective on looking at language altogether - who knew you could apply set theory to language?? I never thought of that; but after having studied it, it makes perfect sense.
For the final test and problem set, hoping to do well and end the course on a good note. It's been a good experience so far, and I'd like to see it through to the end that way.
