Topics to be covered include relations, graphs, trees, Boolean algebra and models of computation. Primary discussion of assigned problems will occur at that time. The material in this course is interwoven, with later topics dependent upon what has been presented previously. Therefore, it is important to do the assignments in a timely manner. Further, the assignments will be used as a basis for quiz problems.
All assignments are to be completed and stored in written form by each class member.
Student groups will be responsible for presenting solutions for class discussion. The work done with the instructor and with other students is valuable in nurturing in each individual an understanding of the material being studied. In particular, the topics in this course are developed sequentially and in small increments that are quite interdependent. Regular class attendance promotes the systematic assimilation of the material as presented. Each student is expected to attend every class.
