can someone please help me with this problem... (a) translate the argument into symbolic form and (b) determine if the argument is valid or invalid. You may compare the argument to a standard form or use a truth table.

36.

If I can get my child to preschool by 8:45 a.m., then I can take the 9:00 a.m. class.
If I can take the 9:00 a.m. class, then I can be done by 2:00 p.m.
∴ If I can get my child to preschool by 8:45 a.m., then I can be done by 2:00 p.m.

hero · Answer

In two weeks I'll be taking that course. Not looking forward to it.

anonymous · Answer

it sucks.. college math.. this is my 2nd time doing it..

hero · Answer

It'll be mine too. I had to withdraw for several reasons the first time. 

1. The course was too dense: (3 and a half weeks)
2. I came three days late missing vital material
3. Military obligations forced me to miss reviews and one of the tests
4. The course was already difficult enough so I didn't have a chance given the circumstances. 

Here's what I recommend...(Discrete Math - Kevin Ferland) get this book now!
