Taking this class online without a professor to explain things has been other than enjoyable. Your videos are making Discrete Math become one of my favorite subjects that I have studied thus far in my Degree. THANK YOU!!

Thanks so much!

You are a life saver and a diamond amongst the rest of most college professors! Thank you.

My only regret is not having come across your videos before. May Jesus bless you abundantly.

I know these videos are 3 years old, but as a Brazilian Student that also goes to Discrete Math Class, this is helping me a lot. Thank you Kimberly for helping people all over the world. You are amazing!

HOLY MOLY I JUST STUMBLED UPON AN AMAZING GEM OF A CHANNEL. THANK YOU!

Thank you for this! I'm studying in a good university but my teacher here is really bad. You helped me skip a 2-hour lecture and squeezed it on just a few minutes. Thank you!

I started enjoying discrete because of you!! thank you so much

I was absolutely lost with DM. This is a godsend. Thankyou for this amazing lecture!

thousand times better than my Russian professor. why we dont get professors like you. we could save our time so easily thankyou.

This has been a HUGE help. Thank you!

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH I REALLY COULDNT UNDERSTAND HOW WE DOING THESE THINGS AND YOU HELPED A LOT THANK YOU

Omggg I cannot even put into words how much you have helped me!!!! I was so confused about this but I tried the challenging final problem in the video by myself and GOT IT EXACTLY AND I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT BECAUSE I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT ANYTHING before watching this video! All thanks to you!

Thank you, Kimberly, for your videos. I finally understood deductive thinking (going from universal to particular: particular being necessarily true when the said particular belongs to the group of the universal), premise, logical symbols etc. thanks to your videos. I also read an article on inductive and deductive thinking on Wikipedia, and inductive thinking clicked as well. The definition on Wikipedia was horrible, but I got that inductive thinking is the opposite of deductive thinking i.e. Going from the particular instance(s) to universal. I also understood that inductive conclusions can never be true but their likelihood of being true can be increased. However even a single instance to the contrary of the conclusion leads to a revision of the conclusion (ideally).

this is insanely helpful, i cant express this enough. thank you sincerely for helping me pass my class

Resolution: Just remember p->q has same truth table with ~p or q so, if ~p or r is same as p->r. Therefore we can replace p with r in p or q, which is same as r or q.

You are so great, I hope I had you as a professor. And just a suggestion in the practice from 16:41 to 21:41, we could have also used hypothetical syllogism to prove the conclusion:) Thanks!

wow, this video really helped explain things much easier, thank you.

Your video saved my day. Thanks.

Brilliant !!!!!!!!

reaaaally good thank you for your efforts and time

thank you so much!

THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN I COULDNT DO IT AND I FOUND IT FEW HOURS AGO BEFORE EXAM AND I DID IT IN EXAM THANK YOU SO SO MUCH 😭❤

I would like to ask on your last example, isn't the disjunctive syllabus r v s and not s suppose to give s instead or r?

Hi Kimberly, I'm a bit confused about the topic of this video intersects with section 1.3.3 (Constructing New Logical Equivalences) . Wasn't that constructing proofs as well? thanks for all the great videos.

What do you do if you have 4 variables? How can I identify the type of Inferences if there are 4 letters ex; Q,p,r ,s

These are saving me for my midterm thank you

Just to make sure I got this right: An argument is the CLAIM that (p1 and p2 and ... pN) imply q. A VALID argument is an argument for that this claim holds. Is that correct?

Best teacher to date

God bless you for actually helping me understand this shit

Why is it modus ponens in the 3rd step of the last example?

At 15:56, is it ok if I did Modus Ponens first and then simplification to reach the same conclusion?

@youssefyoussef3652

2 жыл бұрын

hi L

for the second example, can we use hypothetical syllogism? p-> not q, -q implies not r, therefore p implies r, then using modus ponens since p is true so is r?

@15:38, how does she use simplification for the second one?

Well explained

Trying to self study here. Just curious, if I have p -> q and not p. Then is the result inconclusive?

I was confused about your last example. Why does leaving r at the end imply that p->r

@SawFinMath

3 жыл бұрын

The first step was q. Using the steps we arrive at r. So q implies r.

Help professor, I am precisely asking what does the definition of even numbers refers to.Or for simply,the definitions of chairs,tables,spoons etc refers to a class satisfying the stated property or these terms symbolise any object satisfying stated property.

Thank you!!! i have a small question, do we have to memorize all of the rules?

If you don't have "q" as a premise. How would you solve this?

Lots of love from India

Can someone explain how to get the 3rd step which takes place around 15:10? Why can't you just write q instead of p implies q?

@SawFinMath

3 жыл бұрын

You have to have a reason for every step. I can't just say "q" without a logical equivalence. So I have to state the rules I am using. In this case, that is simplification and modus ponens.

I think the video unfortunately is slightly open for misinterpretation in this exact segment unless you observe quite carefully. It also took me a while to understand what was being done. So the rule of simplification that is used was explained in general by p and q as variable names, which unfortunately also were the specific variable names of the logical statement we investigated. So lets instead explain the simplification rule by using myVar1 and myVar2: From the knowledge that myVar1 AND myVar2 is true, we can infer that myVar1 is true (and equivalently that myVar2 is true). Now to take this general simplification rule and apply it to the example, we would recognize myVar1 as p, and myVar2 as "If p then q". Now it must be since that the premise states that p AND (if p then q) is true, it also follows that both p is true, and (if p then q) is true.

Good day maam Kimberly! regarding in disjunctive Syllogism, is (( p v q ) ^ ~ p) --> q = ((p v q) ^ ~q) --> p?

For the disjunction rule, you took the r. But, according to the formula, u should take the s to be true!? (p or q) and not q then q you did (p or q) and not q then p. Are they interchangeable ?? Kinda confused rn!!

hello can anyone help me with this one? Premises: (¬p → ¬q),(r → p),(¬r → q) conclusion p

@fullfungo4476

Жыл бұрын

Sure, by contraposition law, from (¬p → ¬q) we derive (q → p). Now from (¬r → q) and (q → p) we derive that (¬r → p) by hypothetical syllogism. Now we know that (r → p) and (¬r → p). The last step is the disjunction elimination rule: all we need to invoke is the law of excluded middle (r ∨ ¬r), so (p) follows.

This doesn’t make any sense

Remembering the names for those operations will definitely kill me. Hypothetical syllogwhatnow? Amazing videos nonetheless of course!
