[ Lectures] [Homework] [Puzzles]
Final exam is on Dec 12, Tue, starting at 3:00 pm (2:30 hours), in the regular classroom.
Following topics will *not* be on the exam (everything else taught in the course will be on the exam): * propositional logic * countable and uncountable numbers *recurrence relations *chinese remainder theorem, Fermat's little theorem, RSA *Eulerian tours
Practice problems on graph theory are posted below.
Homework-6 is now online. Due on Wed, Dec 6.
There is a homework-3 with no name of it. Please collect it from me, otherwise you do not get credit for it.

(1) Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications, 6th Edition, by Kenneth H.
Rosen.
(2) Notes from a similar class at Berkeley.
Weekly or biweekly homeworks (we shall drop the lowest 2 homework scores):
33.33%.
You may discuss the homeworks with other people in the class. But:
You MUST write your answers by yourselves, without any collaboration and
without using any resource, as if you are taking a test.
You should also indicate on the top of your homework who, if anyone, you
discussed the homework with.
Academic conduct is subject to the Georgia Tech Honor Code.
Complete solutions will be always posted on the Web shortly after the deadline.
Homeworks are due at the beginning of class on the noted date.
Late homework policy: no credit for late homeworks.
Three quizes: 33.33%.
