Develop an understanding of the methods of proof writing, including developing the skill to write proofs independently. Develop an understanding of the principles of enumeration. Examine the foundations of set theory, relations, functions, and graph theory. Class attendance is important because we will discuss concepts and examples that are not in the textbook. Another student s notes are an inadequate substitute for class attendance.
Students are responsible for all material covered in class.
Homework will be assigned every Thursday. The assigned homework will be due at the beginning of class the next Thursday. Late homework will not be accepted. If class attendance is impossible on a day when homework is due, it may be placed in my departmental mailbox before that start of class. Following grading, solutions to all of the problems will be placed in the Engineering Library.
