Prerequisities
The ability to formulate mathematical proofs. For this reason, you
should have had some exposure to proof-writing before taking this
course. Some
knowledge of
linear
algebra or
abstract
algebra
would also be useful, but is not strictly necessary. Please feel free
to contact me if you'd like to take this course, but are unsure whether
you have the right preparation.
There will be a problem set assigned every week. The
problems will
range in difficulty from routine to more challenging. Completed
solutions are to be handed in at the beginning of class on
the due date specified on the respective homework set. No late homeworks will be accepted.
You are encouraged to work together on the exercises, but any graded
assignment should represent your own work.
