• The final exam will be take home. I will hand it out on Wednesday March 10 (tenth week). It will be due on Wednesday March 17 by 5 pm. It will mainly emphasize applications of the topics we have been studying. The following sections will be the emphasis of the exam: 3.5, 4.3, 5.3, 6.4, 7.1 - 7.4, 7.8. The presentation topics will also be on the test. There will be 6-7 questions and you will have to pick 2 to answer. I will pass out last year's final for you to look at.

• Reading for Tenth Week: Chapter 9, Sections 1-4 and Chapter 11, Sections 1-3 of Discrete Mathematics.

• On Friday I will give you your current grade in the class. There will be a 2 point curve to the 2nd exam.

• Reading for Seventh Week: Chapter 6 of Discrete Mathematics.

• Homework #4 (Due 2/17/99)

  Updated on 2/4/99.

• Remember when doing your homework for Monday that a wrong answer with no work is worth 0 points. A right answer with no work on the first part is worth 1 point and maybe even the second part. Give reasons why you choose the answers you do!

  Updated on 2/3/99.

• Reading for Sixth Week: Chapter 5 of Discrete Mathematics.

  Updated on 2/1/99.

• Reading for Fifth Week: Chapter 4 of Discrete Mathematics

• Homework #3 (Due 2/8/99)

  Updated on 1/25/99.

• The first test is scheduled for Friday, January 29, 1999 not on February 5th as stated previously. I must learn to read a calendar upside down better!

  Updated on 1/22/99.

• The first test is scheduled for Friday, February 5, 1999. It will be the only activity that day and will cover Chapter 1 (omit section 1.5), Chapter 2 (omit sections 2.6 and 2.7) and Chapter 3 (possibly all the chapter).

• To study for the test you may wish to do the review exercises at the end of the chapter. Skip the exercises for the sections that have been omitted. The test will be at least half show something or decide if something is true (valid, possible, etc).

• Homework #2 has been updated. Only the last problem has changed. (Due 1/22/99)

  Updated on 1/13/99.

• Reading for Third Week: Chapter 3 of Discrete Mathematics .

• Reading for Second Week: Chapter 2 of Discrete Mathematics , skip sections 2.6 and 2.7.

• Homework #2 (Due 1/22/99)

  Updated on 1/8/99.

• There is a typo in the book on page 7, Question number 21. There should be a bar over the second occurence of the proposition p. The answer in the back of the book has the correct problem listed.

• The precedence of logical operators seems to indicate that I interpreted a problem incorrectly in class. the problem, there exists x, p(x) -> q(x) should be interpreted (there exists x, p(x)) -> q(x). So on problem number 27 in 1.3 you may not use x=0 as a counter example.
