Welcome to  F2012: MAD4203 3214 Intro.Combinatorics.1  MWF4  LIT219 (SW)

This is the first of a 2-semester sequence.  This semester's SYLLABUS:
  Pigeon-Hole Principle:
  Mathematical Induction:
  Enumeration: Permutations, combinations, compositions, set partitions,
      and integer partitions. Permutation as a product of cycles.
      Inclusion-Exclusion. Generating functions - ordinary and exponential.
      Recurrences.
  Graph Theory: Eulerian and Hamiltonian cycles. Isomorphism.
      Trees. Planarity. Coloring. Matching theory.
  If time permits, we'll do an introduction to Ramsey theory.  I may
  include a bit of Number Theory/Cryptography.

Office: 402 Little Hall (Top floor, NE corner)   392-0281 x270
	"Maximize  x, y and z."
  If I am not in the office then it is best to EMAIL me, as I don't
  remotely pick-up phone messages.  If urgent, then telephone to the
  secretaries at 392-0281.x221 and they can contact me at home.

  My OHs will V*a*R*y during the semester, so please check the webpage.
Currently, OHs are: Wed. and Fri., 6th period [12:50-13:40].

Text: "A Walk Through Combinatorics (3rd edition)" by Miklos Bona.
World Scientific Publishing.  ISBN: 9789814335232.

  EXAMS: In addition to pop quizzes, there will be several
team take-home exams, each with an individual in-class component.
[See my teaching page for previous courses and their take-home exams.]

 All of my classes have CP (class participation) grade, based on Posting
to our Archive, Speaking in class, and in OHs/appt., helping other
students during OHs., etc.  There is NO final exam; rather, a [required]
/typed/ Final Project, due Friday, 07Dec2012, (LDClass+2)

>> PREREQ-Exam: There will be a Mini-exam (a test of prerequisite
>> knowledge, and the MATH-GREEK alphabet) on Friday, 24Aug.  On our
>> webpage, there is a sample test.

CLASS-PHOTO DAY: Friday, 31Aug2012.  Look sharp!  If you want to be in
the photo, then please bring name-card with (optional but useful) your
telephone number.

    Letters-of-recommendation (LORs): I base LOR substantially
  on how a student "thinks on his feet".
    I generally ask that students have had /two/ courses with me
  before asking for a LOR.  See
      http://www.math.ufl.edu/~squash/teaching.html#namelor
  for important details.
