Discr[ete] Relief




Oh, well, I'm back to what I thought was my Waterloo topic in CMSC57 last year: Recurrence Relations and Generating Functions. As I don't want to fail again to look at that definition again that linear homogenous recurrence relations of degree d with constant coefficients (whew!) are of this form: and generating functions are of this form: , I skimmed through a few in the myriads of books on Discrete Math.

I'm so happy that my family gave me a chance to hold a copy of Discrete Mathematics and its Applications by Kenneth Rosen, and it gave me hope in those previous topic discussed which were combinatorics and graph theory. My instructor, Prof. Vanessa Ramoran mostly uses Rosen in her discussions, which gave me some sort of relief. (Good thing the author's name is same as mine. LOL X-D) Rosen also has a preview of the topics relating to my future Computer Science courses: Logic Circuits and Boolean Algebra for CMSC130 and Automata Theory for CMSC141. I'm looking forward to that.

Ma'am Van also uses Discrete Mathematics by Richard Johnsonbaugh as an alternative read, and I wanted to have a copy, too. It presents a more comprehensible method of the topics on recurring problems.


As an alternative read for me to understand the topic I just mentioned, I downloaded Generatingfunctionology by Herbert Wiff. I greatly understood more of the beauty and uses of Generating Functions and how it relates to Power Series I learned in MATH28. No wonder I got more tools.


YES, I CAN DO IT! I CAN PASS THE WATERLOO!

ASL Q&A: Pagsangkap

Image
Hello readers! Another ASL Q&A question from a reader named Lencius Medina Jr. : I am a one-year old christian but biologically, i am 47 year old. i am an engineer by profession but am currently busy in my walk with Christ. Would you by chance be able to share with me the open-source pdf format of Pastor Noel Akuino Jr Pagsangkap? Is it possible to have it both in English and Cebuano version? Thank you and God bless you. Thank you, Mr. Medina for asking me this question: The Cebuano version of Pagsangkap (officially published as a book) is not yet available for release since I have to get permission from Pastor Alkuino for me to produce the PDF version. I could only give you the English version since it is not yet published officially. Attached to my e-mail reply to you is a copy of "Pagsangkap" ("Equipping the Saints" is its official English title when it will be released as a book) in PDF format. I hope that he would share these wonderful lessons with...

Move On!

Sometimes I have to think it over... Sometimes I have to depend on my perception... Sometimes I have to confuse myself... But, in a time of desperation of fulfilling the vision, I HAVE TO MOVE ON! I have to go on with a persevering heart! I should never fail. I should never give up. MOVE ON! MOVE ON! KENNETH
