Discrete Mathematics: Course Syllabus

• Course Logistics. MWF 8:45 a.m.-9:45 a.m., LCB 225
• Prerequisites. "C" or better in at least one of math. 1220, 1250, 1260, 1270, 1311, 1320, 1321,or 2210; alternatively, an Advanced-Placement Calculus BC score of 5
• Number of credits. 3
• Instructor. Davar Khoshnevisan
• Text. "Discrete Mathematics & Its Applications" by Kenneth H. Rosen, McGraw Hill, New York, 2012 (7th edition)
• Course description. This is a semester-long rigorous undergraduate course in discrete mathematics. In addition to learning how one forms logically-correct, rational mathematical arguments [i.e., "proofs"], we will also learn a little bit about naive set theory & logic, number theory & cryptography, and naive probability & enumerative combinatorics
• Grading. Final grade will be based on a combination of assigned homework, and 3 exams. The course grade will depend on the students' performance, creativity, and depth of understanding. Homework is assigned fairly regularly and can be accessed by clicking on the "Assignments" link below.

• Good advice on how to learn mathematics can be found here, in a fine article by the Math. Department Chairman, Peter Trapa. That is, if you read the article carefully and with thought.
• My Lecture Notes (the whole file; update July 30th).
