In this course, we will learn propositional logic, set theory, simple algorithms, induction, recursion, counting techniques, and writing proofs.
It is important that you look at the computer science department's guidelines on academic honesty.
Solutions you hand in for homework assignments must be your own work. Although you may discuss the general approach to solving a problem with other people, you should never discuss the solution in detail. You must not take any written notes away from such a discussion, and you should wait at least one hour after the discussion to write down anything about the homework questions. Also, you must list on the cover page of your solutions any people with whom you have discussed the problems. The solutions you hand in should be your own work. While writing them, you may look at the course textbook and your own lecture notes but no other outside sources.
