This week we did not learn anything that is too technical, but we were introduced to Church and Turing's hypothesis that there exists problems that algorithms cannot solve. It was more of an intuitive and explanatory lecture than a technical one, I I took pleasure in learning it.
One problem we focused on this week is the halting problem, which is to determine whether a computer program will eventually stop running, or continues to run forever. It is quiet interesting to study this, as we can understand the limitations of programming.
Despite the relative easiness of the lecture, this week is actually very intense with many projects and assignments due. I am rather worried about my exams, as I have 5 exams in 3 days and it is unlikely that I will have enough time to study.
As this course approaches is end, I begin to miss the good times I had with csc165. It was a wonderful experience where I significantly improved my mathematical and reasoning skills. I would like to thank professor Danny and the TA in this course for this wonderful experience.
