\subsection*{MIT Subject}

This minicourse is based on the MIT subject 6.042J/18.062J
\textit{Mathematics for Computer Science}, which covers discrete
mathematics and probability.  The material in the MIT subject 6.042 is
a prerequisite for SMA5503.

\subsection*{Schedule}

Lectures will be held in room 34-101, not the regular classroom.

\subsection*{How to Learn More}

Two textbooks are used for the full-length version of this course at
MIT\@.  The book \textit{The Nuts and Bolts of Proofs} by Antonella
Cupillari is a small paperback with content similar to our first
lecture.  The book \textit{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.  

Written notes from the various 6.042 course offerings are available
at:

\noindent Particularly relevant are Weeks 1 and 2 (on proofs and
induction), Weeks 9 and 10 (on probability), and Week 11 (on
expectation).  You must know all the material in 6.042 as a
prerequisite for SMA5503, even though we will be reviewing only part
of the material.
