Course-level learning objectives: Upon completion of MTH 225, you will be able to:

  • Represent integers using different number bases, and perform integer arithmetic using different bases and modular arithmetic.

  • Formulate, manipulate, and determine the truth of logical expressions using symbolic logic.

  • Formulate and solve computational problems using sets and functions.

MTH 225 Learning Objectives

By module

  • Module 1: Arithmetic
    • Given an integer in base 2, 8, 10, or 16, represent it using another base.
    • Add, subtract, multiply, and divide integers in base 2, 8, and 16.
    • Use two's complement to represent a negative integer in binary.
  • State the Division Algorithm and use it to find the quotient and remainder when dividing one positive integer by another.

Here's a suggested work plan for the week. As always, this assumes you are putting aside 2 hours per weekday for work on MTH 201; if you can do that, and stick to the plan, you'll be free and clear for the weekend.

  • Monday: 30 minutes to get started on Daily Prep for Module 6B; 30 minutes to get started with WeBWorK for Module 5; 30 minutes to work on an AEP (new draft or a revision); 30 minutes on the Derivative Computation WeBWorK set.
  • Tuesday: 30 minutes to complete Daily Prep 6B; 30 minutes on an AEP; 30 minutes on the WebWorK for Module 6; 30 more minutes the Derivative Computation set.
  • Wednesday: 30-45 minutes to complete Followup for Module 6A; 30 minutes on WeBWorK for Module 6; 30 minutes on an AEP; 30 minutes checking in with Campuswire and asking questions.
  • Thursday: 30 minutes to start Followup for Module 6B; 30 minutes for WeBWorK; then an hour on an AEP.
  • Friday: 30 minutes to complete Followup for Module 6B; 30 minutes to complete WeBWorK for Module 6; 30

A couple of weeks ago, I made the difficult decision to leave Twitter. I have a full statement here but I wanted to expand on this.

First of all, I haven't exactly "left". I am keeping the @RobertTalbert account around but it is "broadcast-only", meaning that I only use it to post snippets of interest such as blog post announcements, articles I want to share, reading updates from GoodReads, and so on. But I am no longer responding to replies and only occasionally checking direct messages. I have Twitter blocked on my laptops and removed from my phone. I'm done using it except for broadcasts.

Why am I doing this? In my full statement I said that there is much difficult work to do in the coming months, and "If I am not only to succeed personally but also help others to be successful – as has been my primary mission throughout 23+ years in higher education – I need to disconnect from anything that consumes more energy than it produces." To put it more bluntly:**Twitter has, f

MTH 201: Calculus

Daily Preparation, Module 1A: How do we measure velocity?

**Due by: 11:59pm ET, Wednesday September 2 **

Estimated time requirement: About 60 minutes for the whole assignment. If you have worked on this assignment for 30 minutes and you're not at least halfway done, DON'T work any further --- instead, stop and ask for help on the #dailyprep channel on CampusWire.

Overview

Course Level Objectives for MTH 225 (Discrete Structure for Computer Science 1)

  1. Compute basic numerical and symbolic expressions involving numbers in different bases, modular arithmetic, sets, functions, and symbolic logic.
  2. Solve complex counting problems using computational thinking and the tools of combinatorics.
  3. Formulate computational problems in terms of sets, functions, logic, and combinatorics.
  4. Write clear, correct, and convincing arguments to explain the correctness of a solution using combinatorial proof and mathematical induction.
  5. Apply effective problem-solving skills in solving computational problems.
  6. Explain methods and solutions of computational problems in a clear way to a specified target audience.
  7. Demonstrate fluency in applying computer programming in the formulation and solutions of mathematical problems.
  8. Assess one's own work in mathematical problem solving and apply feedback to make improvements to one's own work

MTH 201 Fall 2020 Course and Module Objectives

  • Group F: Use functions and other pre-Calculus mathematics proficiently.
    • F.1: I can find the average rate of change of a function on an interval.
  • Group L: Calculate, use, and explain the concept of limits.
    • L.1: (CORE) I can find the limit of a function at a point using numerical, graphical, and algebraic methods.
    • L.2: I can identify limits in indeterminate form and apply L'Hopital's Rule to evaluate them.
