The intersection of CSC165 and MAT137

Vaguely this week, CSC165 and MAT137 have been indistinguishable in certain aspects.  On some days, when I'm drowsy enough, I would associate CSC165 more with math than computer science. The work load from these two courses have been themed around the same thing: symbolic math statements.  Reading symbolic math statements, understanding them, and converting english sentences to symbolic math statements.  Both course works have fed on each other, and helped in the general understanding of math's symbolic language.  For MAT137 problem set #1, we were asked to identify, from a list of choices, which one[s] are proper definitions of a periodic function, write out proofs using the toolbox of math symbols, and create sets of numbers that satisfy a statement.  For CSC165, we were asked to do negation, disjunction, conjunction, and truth table exercises.  These exercises require practicing math symbols, and both offer a different viewpoint in how to think about these math symbols, thus furthering the understanding of the course works and the symbolic math language.  For example, the upside-down "U" symbol used in math means the intersection of two numerical sets, but in computer science, it could be an intersection of two qualities, for example, 'red and Ferrari'.  Understanding the different usages of the same symbol allows me to expand my  horizon on how to be creative with the symbol and the meaning of the symbol itself.

Someone should really update the math calendar to say, recommended: CSC165.
