Text: Thinking Mathematically (Fourth Edition), by Blitzer.
Topics Covered: Reasoning and Estimation, Set Theory, Logic, Numbers and Numeracy, Voting Systems, etc.
Homework: You will do regular assignments, which will be collected. You should be prepared to discuss and ask questions about the homework and hand it in on time. I strongly encourage you to try the homework on your own and then discuss it with others. A teaching assistant/grader will have regular hours in the Math Clinic. I am available to answer questions at my posted office hours as well as other times.
