Discrete Mathematics: Math 245, Fall 2012
Assignments



All graded homework is assigned via Webwork .There are two tables below that have additional problems to study.

The first table has problems that are more challenging than the webworks problems. Some are proofs, some require several steps and explanation of your process in solving the problem. In previous years, these problems were assigned as written homework and graded. This year, you may write up your solutions and discuss them with the teaching assistant, Carina Mueller, and ask her to critique your work. Be sure that your solution is clearly written and carefully argued! This work will not be graded, but a limited number of similar problems will appear on the exam. The problems from the 2nd, and 3rd editions are nearly the same as those in the 4th edition.

The second table below lists other exercises in the textbook that are relevant to the course. I don't expect you to do all the problems listed, but it is worth reading many of them and solving a few of each type. The exercises are listed in the same order that the material will be presented.
