Topics

The course will cover at least some of the following topics (not necessarily in this order and not all-inclusive). See lectures for additional information.

Mathematical notation (sets, functions, operations, and relations): meaning and manipulation
Mathematical proofs: informal but rigorous
Combinatorics (counting techniques)
Discrete probability
Graph Theory

Grading

Grading will be weighted with the following breakdown:

20% - Homework
10% - Recitation Attendance
14% - Midterm 1
14% - Midterm 2
14% - Midterm 3
28% - Final

Your lowest homework grade will be dropped when calculating final grades.

Textbook

There is no required or recommended textbook for this course. A textbook that can be referred to for extra reading is ''Mathematics: A Discrete Introduction'' by E. A. Scheinerman. Detailed lecture notes will be posted on this website, typically in advance of the lecture.
