  • I LOVE YOU! Thank you. I didn't understand this during today's lecture at my school... thanks to you I get it!!

    What institution do you teach at may I ask??

  • @SellsAlyssa ...at the time of this response, I'm at Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. peace and thanks for watching.

  • Great videos, I appreciate your time to create these.

  • @jamesknight002 Thanks for watching, peace.

  • Thank you very much for your videos!

    Like 1Evaly I'm a little confused about the use of y. I believe I understand the way you're using it, but in the book I'm using for my studies (if I understand it correctly) it is not used as an instantiation of x but as a second variable with its own range, independent of the range of x (such that x may be "all planets" while y is "all moons", for example). Am I misunderstanding it or are these just different ways of using the variables?

  • @Blodhosta Go this this video: past the code after youtube dot com /

    watch?v=NUj8SJCnRGE&feature=ch­annel_video_title

    and jump to 12:20 in the video. I address it directly. Let me know if it helped. Peace.

see all

  • It's my report on Saturday!! Waah!! :D Thanks a lot Sir! :)) If you don't mind, do you have some lecture regarding this topic with some sample statements like a typical book is stating. Just like our book, first it stated the symbolic expression then the sample statement for it. Waiting for your response Sir. How I wish you're my logic teacher!

  • I thought the individual constants were a to w and individual variables were between x and z - so it's confusing to have the instantiation of (x)Ax->Bx) to be Ay->By. From the little that I know on the subject, that makes me think that "y" is being used as an individual variable, not a constant???? Thanks for making these videos. I am doing Predicate Logic through a home study course and the material provided for explaining all of this is not NOTGOOD - so I appreciate your instruction!

  • @gramo83 LOL...that made my day...good luck on your test! glad to help. peace.

  • Video #4 is exactly what I need help on!!! again. Awesome to have your videos on YouTube!!! Thanks. :)
