7.1-7.3

I thought conjectures in mathematics was a very neat section.  I loved when it talked about palindromes as being words and numbers.  And that when you add the opposites of positive number together you will eventually get a palindrome.  FASCINATING! The last section of the reading adds a whole different angle to our proofs,  not having only proof they are true, but first deciding for ourselves if it is true or it it is false, then doing the appropriate proof.  This will call for more pre-work on problems.
