This course covers some fundamental notions in the mathematics (in particular, Discrete Mathematics) that are necessary for the graduate study of Computer Science. Topics include iteration, induction, and recursion; asymptotic analysis; proofs of correctness; elementary combinatorics; propositional and predicate logic. There is NO programming in the course.
There is no pre-requisite for this course. However, students are expected to have a good command of algebra (high school to undergraduate level).
The grade breakdown will be as follows:
Assignments 40%
Midterm 30%
Final Exam 30%
The grading scale is as follows:
90-100 A 80-89.99 B 70-79.99 C 60-69.99 D 0-59.99 F
Plusses and minuses will be given at the high/low ends of each grade range (note: no A+'s).
- Your answers will NOT be judged only by the final results/conclusions. Scores you receive will be based on the correctness of ALL parts of the answers. So, points will be taken off if an answer contains incorrect statements, even though its final conclusion is correct.
- Assignments with NO NAME may be penalized by some points.
Assignments are due at start of class of the due dates. Late assignments will NOT be accepted.
