Math 55: Discrete Mathematics
Math 55 (Discrete Mathematics) has been added as a new lower-division requirement for the Mathematics and Applied Mathematics majors. It will be required for all students declaring the major beginning Spring 2009, with the exception of transfer students. For transfer students it will be required beginning Fall 2010.
Effective Fall 2008, Math 55 will be redesigned to include an introduction on how to construct effective mathematical proofs. Therefore students who had intended to register for Math 74 (Transition to Upper-Division Math) in the Fall of 2008 should consider Math 55 instead.
Please contact one of the Math Department Undergraduate Advisers if
you have any questions.
