Instruction

Instruction takes place in lectures, exercise sessions, and seminars; though you will complete much of the course work outside of the scheduled class time. In order to get the most out of the course it is important to come to class prepared, and to take time after each course meeting to process what you have learned. Do your best to remain caught up with the course material at all times, read the relevant sections from the textbooks each week, and solve as many recommended exercises as possible. Anyone who does this will likely pass the course.

Textbooks

Kimmo Eriksson and Hillevi Gavel, Discrete Mathematics and Discrete Models.
