\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.  In Spring 2003, videos and course
materials for 6.042 were compiled as SMA5508 and are available from
the SMA website.

Proofs, Induction		& Monday, July 28 & 1:00 -- 2:30 \\
Probability			& Tuesday, July 29 & 1:00 -- 2:30 \\
Probability, Independence	& Thursday, July 31 & 1:00 -- 2:30 \\
Expectation			& Friday, August 1 & 1:00 -- 2:30 \\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

\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.  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.
