CS 61: Discrete Mathematics (Spring 2025)

Syllabus • Schedule

General Information

• Lectures: Given by Dr. Marty Allen, MWF 9:30–10:20 AM (section 01) and 10:30–11:20 AM (section 02), 170 Joyce Cummings Center
  
• Attendance: There will be lecture feedback forms occasionally given in class to measure understanding and participation.
  
• Recitations This class has no required recitations. Instead, there is a 1-credit workshop course (CS 62) that meets on Fridays. The course sections are led by TAs, and involve working on extra practice problems together. The material is ungraded, and the grade for the course is based solely upon attendance.
  
• Office Hours: These will be posted on Piazza.
  
• Exams will be in-person, unless otherwise announced. Dates can be found on the schedule page.
  • Homework: Homework will generally be made available on Tuesdays, and will be due on Monday nights. We will distribute homework, and you will submit solutions, via Gradescope. We will provide more information about homework format and expectations as the course moves along.
  • Canvas: Canvas is being used only to share video recordings of lecture. We can't provide any great guarantees about these videos, as the classroom and lecture plans aren't designed primarily for online recorded viewing. A better approach is to rely upon friends with good note-taking skills if you can't make live sessions yourselves.

Course Tools

• We will use Piazza for class discussions, announcements, polls, handouts, assignments, and so on.
• Homework will be submitted and graded using Gradescope.
• Video recordings of lectures (if successful, no guarantees) will be available on Canvas.
