Week 0 - Friday

Difficult
It's always difficult to get used to a new textbook and the type of terminology and notation it uses. I'm still a little unsure about what the author means by "symmetry." Based on the context, I'm assuming that it means all possible outcomes have an equal chance of occurring, since "symmetry" is not used to describe the case with the weighted die. I'm also confused about when "capital omega" denotes the universal set or a sample space.
Reflective
It was nice to get some review on series and limits, since it's been a while since I've seen the formal notation. I found the Venn diagrams very useful in trying to visualize unions, intersections, and differences. I thought Example (13) on page 29 was a very good problem to show how we can use sets to draw more conclusions.
