I am on campus MWF from about 9:20 to 4:30. Find me, I'm yours, usually. I teach at 9:30 and 11:30.  If not in my office, I am usually in one of the computer labs or math prof’s offices, or will try to leave a note on my door. After class is a great time to meet if you're free. Best is to let me know you want to see me and when (i.e. make an appointment, by phone, email, or at class time).

Text: Discrete Mathematics by Susanna S. Epp (second edition)

Homework: There will be daily assignments that will be collected and discussed at the following class. This is very important for class preparation and learning the material.

Assistant:  Karen McKeen will be marking homework and will be available in the Math Clinic for help.  Other clinic staffers may be helpful too.

Help and Honor Code  I expect you to get and give as much help as you can, as freely as possible, when doing homework assignments.  Mathematics is a social activity, and working together will strengthen your understanding and your powers of communication. However, you are personally responsible for understanding, and for creating as much as possible in your own words, the work you hand in.  Exams will be individual, no consultation with anyone but me.

"Days: "  There are 42 scheduled class days in the term.  For recording purposes, please label HW with the day number it is assigned, not the day it's to be handed in.  Here's a calendar:
