2.9-2.11, due on January 13

Difficult: The most difficult part of this section of reading was 2.10 which is on Quantified Statements.  I don't really understand what it does beyond making an open sentence into a statement. I do not understand what the different symbols for a universal quantifier and an existential quantifier. I understood the part of the section that talked about whether or not a quantified statement was true or false. But I am not sure I could apply it since I don't think I understand what it means to be honest. I also found that I have been getting a little confused about adding R into a truth table. I am not always sure if I am doing it right or not.

Reflective: Section 2.9 about the fundamental properties of logical equivalence mentions commutative laws, associative laws, and distributive laws.  When I read these three different types of laws, they immediately sounded familiar and connected me back to other principles that I remember learning.  Unfortunately, I cannot seem to pin point what exactly they remind me of.
