Course Plan: We will cover selected sections from Chapters 1-7 of your book.

Topics will be selected from logic, proofs, set theory, relations, functions, cardinality, groups, and introductory analysis.

Grading System: During the course there will be three in-class examinations, each worth 100 points. There will be a comprehensive final examination worth 200 points. An additional 100 points will come from homework. Your grade will be based on the points earned on homework and exams.

D 360-419

F 0-359

Plusses or minuses may be attached to these grades at the discretion of the instructor.

Makeup Examinations: Exams may be taken early if circumstances such as athletic events conflict with the normal test time. Arrangements need to be made at least one week in advance. Otherwise, the exam must be taken at the normally scheduled time. Late makeup exams are only given in case of a documented emergency.

Homework: Assigned homework has the following three purposes: (1) To specify the material students will be responsible for, (2) To provide relevant examples for class discussions and, most importantly, (3) To provide material through which the student can enhance their knowledge of the subject. Specified homework problems will be collected and other practice homework will not be collected, but will serve as a basis for class discussions. Homework will be due at the beginning of class on specified dates. Late homework will not be accepted.

Disabled Student Services: Anyone requiring special accommodations for a documented disability should make arrangements through the DREAM (´4134) office.

Academic Honesty: Academic Honesty should be maintained at all times. Any incidents of copying or cheating will result in a failing grade. Please refer to the student handbook for a description of the Academic Honesty policy.
