Yeah, sure, go ahead.

Worse, the specific names of the rules I gave aren’t standard. I thought about mentioning this. Better late than never… I first learned propositional calculus (logic) from the Wff ‘n’ Proof game. It really is exactly the same thing as they teach in college (heh, and I had it cold in high school.) I don’t remember the formal names of the rules.

You’ll probably be the better tutor. I’ll be the cheerleader!

Well, the hw is due tomorrow, and it is done…I could submit it all right now if I wanted, but to have a little assistance with those questions would make me feel soooo much better. I really would love to somehow get an A- in this class - I haven’t gotten below that yet and want to keep up my GPS if possible.
