The lecturer is David Easdown, whose office is Carslaw 619 (phone 9351 4217). David plans to be available for lunchtime consultations each Wednesday from Week 2 between 1.00-2.00 pm. If you need to make an appointment to see him at some other time, try ringing first or emailing him.

David Easdown's notes A Course in Discrete Mathematics will be a comprehensive text for the Discrete Mathematics half of the course and may be purchased ($9.50) from Kopystop, 55 Mountain Street, Broadway. Kopystop's phone number is 9211 2733.
The library contains many excellent books on discrete mathematics, too numerous to mention here. A good introduction to many of the topics can be found in Introduction to Discrete Mathematics by Choo and Taylor. The call number for that book, in the Fisher Library and the Mathematics Library (level 8 Carslaw), is 511.3 35.
Advertisement: The Little Blue Bookby Sandra Britton, Clare Coleman and Jenny Henderson, was written specifically for second year students -- it summarises the main techniques and formulas from first year and contains all the first year material which is assumed knowledge in second year maths. It is available now from the Co-Op Bookshop on campus (NOT Kopystop), at a price of $10. (By the way, the authors do not benefit financially from the sale of this book. The School gets a small return for overheads.) |
Two quizzes in Discrete Mathematics are planned to be held in weeks 4 and 6, the details of which will be announced the week before. These are an opportunity for you to get quick feedback from the lecturer how well you are coping with the material, and help the lecturer fine-tune the pace of lectures and rectify obvious difficulties.
Tutorial sheets and any other handouts will usually be distributed in lectures. Spare copies may be collected also from the Carslaw seventh floor corridor.
