Rantings and ravings. Glimpses of my crazy life. Ramblings about my home in Port Lavaca, my work in Houston, my PhD progress at Texas Tech University, and everything around and in between. I also have a business in Houston (Amaya Consulting) and am working on a joint venture in Papua New Guinea (Herries Engineering and Technical Services). It may seem like madness, but it's a good life, and you are invited to poke around in it a bit as often and as randomly as you wish.

Scary! I'm Starting to LIKE Logic!
Yes, that's right. I just finished a TON of homework problems for tomorrow night's Logic class, and I really hate to admit it (because it really sounds crazy), but I really enjoyed it.
Here's an example of one of tonight's problems, along with my solution. (I hope it's right).
Number 5: (B-->E)-->(F-->(F-->E)),(E-->F)-->(B-->E),B-->(E-->F),(B-->(E-->F))-->B ⊢ F -->E
1. (B-->E)-->(F-->(F-->E)) A
2. (E-->F)-->(B-->E) A
3. B-->(E-->F) A
4. B-->(E-->F)-->B A
5. B 4, 3 -->out
6. E-->F 3, 5 -->out
7. B-->E 2, 6 -->out
8. F-->(F-->E) 1, 7 -->out
9. E 7, 9 -->out
10. F 6, 9 -->out
11. F-->E 8, 10 -->out
If you think that was exciting, you should see the homework I had to do for my Operations class...it was 5 pages of calculations that had to do with "waiting line theory". Yes, that's right. TONS of information about how to caluclate all of the possible business implications that waiting in line at the grocery store, bank, oil change shop, etc. have on the business.
Gee, who knows what exciting things I'll learn next week!
