Prerequisite:

Prerequisite: CSCI 1301-1301L. (Strickly enforced)

Topics to be Covered:

The fundamental mathematical tools used in computer science: sets, relations, and functions; propositional logic, predicate logic, and inductive proofs; summations, recurrences, and elementary asymptotics; counting and discrete probability; graphs and trees; introductory linear algebra, with applications in computer science.

Expected Work:

Reading; homework assignments; two midterm exams; and final. All assignments and all exams must be done entirely on your own. Attendance in all lectures is expected. You are responsible for all material taught in class even if you are absent and it is not in the book. Attendance in the two midterms is mandatory with no possibility for makeup exams.

Academic Honesty and Integrity:

All students are responsible for maintaining the highest standards of honesty and integrity in every phase of their academic careers. The penalties for academic dishonesty are severe and ignorance is not an acceptable defense.

  • Midterm Examinations: 20% each
  • Undergraduates: Final Examination: 30%

    Assignment Submission Policy

    Assignments must be turned in by the assigned deadline in class. Late assignments will not be accepted. Rare exceptions may be made by the instructor only under extenuating circumstances and in accordance with the university policies.
