  • The second Midterm will be held on Monday, 22 December, at YD 106 (A-L) & 116(L-Z), 17:00-19:00. The second midterm will cover the following topics: graphs, trees, and algebraic structures. Note that the chapter on graphs is also included among the material of this second midterm.
  • The fifth homework is due to December 19, Friday, 17:00.
  • We will go over the exam questions in the PS on Thursday (11 December)
  • The 1st Midterm will be held on December 4, Thursday, 17:00-19:00, at Güney Park. We had to change the place, as all the big classrooms on North Campus were booked for Wednesday and Thursday.

Late submissions are not to be graded, although you can still submit them for corrections. The place of the PS will probably be ETA Z04, it will be announced next week.
  • Past experience tells that the success of the student in the Discrete Mathematics course is strongly correlated with the number of questions attempted independently during the semester. Thus, you are advised to solve as many questions as possible. You can always contact the assistant for help on a particular question. Mathematical proofs require a familiarity with proof techniques that only develops by actually solving problems; simply reading and understanding the subject will not be enough. Your textbook contains many sample questions with answers. The appropriate way to approach these is to attempt the question without looking at the answer, and checking the correct answer afterwards. Looking at the answer for inspiration will not do, because what you need to develop is the intuition that will tell you how to construct a proof in the first place. You cannot build your muscles by looking at other people practice dumbbells.
