Objective
- The overall goal of this course is to give you a foundation in
discrete mathematics and problem solving. You will investigate many
topics integral to the field of computer science.
-
Course Organization
- Class notes are to be brought to every class meeting. Keep up
and keep prepared. I am planning to move along quite quickly.
We will be following the the primary organization of the
text, however, there may be several sections within a chapter that
we are not going to cover. Utilize your resources upper division
majors... both CSIS and MATH along with myself to gain both the
theory and practice needed to succeed in this course. Do not wait
until you are behind to put in the time needed... it will be too
late!!! No
assignment will be accepted in pen... it must be written in pencil
to receive a grade.
I do not expect you to give more than 100% towards this class,
however I also will accept no less.
If you have specific physical, psychiatric, or learning disabilities
and require accommodations, please contact the Disability Services
office early in the term so that your learning needs may be appropriately
met. You will need to provide current documentation of your disability
to Disability Services. For more information, contact Director
of Disability Services.
