I remember last week, I went to youtube and watched Vihart's videos about Fibonacci Sequences under prof. Heap's recommendation. It was fascinating. The videos talked about how plants and flowers naturally grow in a pattern that is basically Fibonacci Sequences or its alike. It looks like magic. Suddenly, you feel things are connected together. You realize that high-level math is not something that should be studied in another planet. I wish I could watch more videos like that that link math or conceptual stuff to our everyday lives. I hope the school teachers and professors could do this when they are teaching.

CSC236 SLOG #3
I have finished the assignment 2 on Friday. The assignment is not bad. When you really started working on it, it seemed much easier than the first time you read the questions. For me, the hardest thing in writing up the assignment was actually putting in the symbols and unusual parameters, such as ceilings, n_hat, theta etc. What I used to do was go to google, and search for "logical symbols". Then I would arrive to a wikipedia page, and I could copy-paste the symbols I need to my word file. However, I cannot find a copiable character for ceiling, floor, and n_hat. So, if any of you knows a way to get these notation into a word file or any text-editor, please let me know, it will be greatly appreciated.
