Day 1:
Our first class was on Formal Logic. The lecturer simply told us to write this sentence and asked us to think about its meaning.
I saw John going up the hill with a telescope
No one volunteered to give an answer and the lecturer told the guy sitting at the back to answer (i.e. me xP). I was like “damn, wth i’m gonna say”. I finally said that first, there is John going up a hill and secondly, he has a telescope with him. Another said that it could mean that You are looking John going up a hill through a telescope. The lecturer also added that it could mean John is going up a hill which has a telescope on it 😛
The moral of the story is that in a natural language, one sentence can have multiple meanings. Therefore it cannot be used with a computer. A computer needs a language in which statements can have only ONE meaning 😉
Day 2:
We were supposed to have a practical lab class but it was not held because lecture was due first.
Day 3:
Once again, there was no practical class in the morning. But we were not sure about it in advance. I rushed on the road for nothing to arrive in time. I could have slept till 11 o’clock. 🙁
I then went to the library and worked a bit on my website.
The afternoon lecture was Digital Logic. It damn crowded: 102 students in one crappy room. As always, i got a seat at the back. Had to do lots of effort to hear the lecturer. The course itself seems quite bulky. We studied Number system such as Decimal, Binary, Hexadecimal etc and how to convert them into different number systems and do some basic arithmetic calculations using binary numbers.
Day 4:
I decided to leave home early so that i could get a seat infront in the class. But there was a huge traffic jam and i reached late for class. I had to sit in the last row again 🙁
But one hour later, another lecturer came and said that the lecture room was allocated to him and we had to shift to another room. I was able to get in the new room first 😛
