July 30:

Today was my first day back in classes since the second week of the program--Jeremy and I were gone all last week on a mission trip with our church youth group. After our homework time, where we worked on our Maples mini-project, Dr. Knisley began his lesson on intelligence. He started off giving us the monkey and bananas illustration for artificial intelligence, which led us into a discussion of the definition of intelligence. He ended by talking about action potential and introduced us to an interesting website dealing with the topic. When we had finished our lunch break, we came back to Gilbreath for our weekly mathematics lecture with Dr. Helfgott. It was our last one, which is kind of sad.
