Textbook:
Discrete Math w/Applications, 4th ed. by Susanna Epp
Course description (UVM catalog): Introduction to analytic and formal methods of computer science with practical examples, including analysis or data structures, recursion relations, proof methods, and logic programming. Credit not given for more than one of CS 064, MATH 052 or MATH 054. Co-requisites: One semester of programming, MATH 020 or MATH 022. Credits: 3.00 Homework: Homework is essential to your success in this course. Homework provides an opportunity to practice your skills and test your understanding of the course concepts before quizzes and exams. You are encouraged to collaborate, but your homework submission must be your own effort. List any collaborators in your homework submission. Homework must be neatly handwritten and include your name, date, labeled exercise numbers, a full statement of the question (copy the question from the book) and your solution. Homework is collected at the beginning of class. To earn credit for homework, you must be present for the entire class in which homework is due and must be present for the entire class in which homework is returned. Homework which does not meet these specifications will not earn credit. Late work is not accepted for grading. The lowest homework will be dropped. Quizzes: There will be 0-2 short quizzes given each week. While most quizzes are announced ahead of time, some quizzes may be unannounced. No make – up quizzes will be given. Since there are no make-up quizzes, the lowest quiz grade will be dropped. This is intended to compensate for a missed class day, not to compensate for low quiz grades. Quizzes will be similar to in class warm-up problems, examples and homework. Exams: There will be two unit exams and a cumulative final exam. Make-up exams: If you have a genuine emergency and cannot attend the exam date, you must notify me within 24 hours of the start of the exam. Failure to notify me within 24 hours or failure to provide appropriate documentation will result in a 0 score for the exam. Participation / Etiquette: You are expected to arrive on-time and to stay for the full class period, to actively participate in class (e.g. asking/answering questions in class), to refrain from any distracting behavior during class, to keep computers, tablets and phones turned off. Adherence to these guidelines will generally earn you full credit for participation. Failure to adhere to these guidelines will result in partial or no credit for participation.
