\subsection*{MIT Course}

This minicourse is based on the MIT course 6.042 {\em Mathematics for
Computer Science}, which covers discrete mathematics and probability.
Written notes from the various times that the course has been taught
are available at:

\subsection*{How to Learn More}

Two textbooks are used for the full-length version of this course at
MIT.  {\em The Nuts and Bolts of Proofs} by Antonella Cupillari is a
small book with content similar to our first lecture.  In contrast,
{\em Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications} by Kenneth Rosen is an
800-page text.

Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of Rosen's book cover our first lecture, and
sections 4.4 and 4.5 (very briefly) cover the second and third.  A
good set of 6.042 notes covering the same material is available at:

\bigskip
\centerline{{\small {\tt http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/classes/6.042/spring01/handouts/fall97/homepage.html}}}
\bigskip

\noindent Particularly relevant are lectures 1 and 2 (on proofs and
induction), 18 (on probability), and 22 (on expectation).
