MACM 201-3
DISCRETE MATHEMATICS II

MATH OPEN LAB (room TBA)

DAY COURSE
Surrey Campus
Instructor: Dr. R. Pyke
Lab Coordinator: Dr. N. Kouzniak
Prerequisite:

MACM 101

Textbook:

Discrete Combinatorial Mathematics An Applied Introduction, 5th edition by Ralph P. Grimaldi, published by Pearson Education. ISBN: 0-201-72634-3.

Calendar Description:

A continuation of MACM 101. Topics covered include graph theory, trees, inclusion-exclusion, generating functions, recurrence relations, and optimization and matching.

In addition to regularly scheduled lectures, students registered in these courses are encouraged to come to the Mathematics Open Laboratory (OPL) for assistance any time during posted working hours. At the OPL students will have the opportunity to meet with the lab co-ordinator, the teaching assistants and other students, and work together to understand mathematics in a friendly and helpful environment.
