Section 32 due Nov 26

1. I think I understand the basic outline of the Shroder-Bernstein proof but the exact definitions of the different partitions of A and B are unclear to me. Basically, it seems that they showed that there are four possible relationships between the sets A and B and thus if we can find bijections in all possible cases then we can prove the sets are equal. I think I'll watch some youtube videos on it for a better understanding.

2. Reflecting on this class, as we near the end of the semester, I'm just grateful for the opportunity I've had to be in it. Honestly, if I had had this class earlier in my math career, I think it would have made a lot of my math education easier. I think there are foundational principles we learn in this course that if we were to learn first, would help to undergird lots of other classes. I think it's kind of a shame that we don't get this kind of information earlier. But, I'm grateful for the opportunity I've had to learn some real math.
