The SeLo Project must be carefully typed, but diagrams may be hand-drawn.
For the typesetting, one possibility
is the (free)
mathematics-typesetting language
.
It can be learned in a week.
(It is the archival language of the American Mathematical
Society.)
At all times have a paper copy you can hand-in; I do
NOT accept
electronic versions.
Print out a copy each day, so that you always have the latest version to
hand-in; this, in case your printer or computer fails.

Please follow the guidelines on the
Checklist
(pdf, 3pages) to earn full credit.
Quantifiers ∀ and ∃ (“for all” and “there exists”) are like nitroglycerin, in that one little mis-step leads to the whole thing blowing up in your face.
There is no partial credit when it comes to Explosives and Quantifiers.

Please take a gander at Past courses with notes, exams and links.
Computer-generated pictures of Lmino Tilings (txt), illustrating a geometric induction-argument.
The domino-tiling sequence on 2xN leads to the roots of the problem. The second part of domino-tiling is solved on Home-B, but I have not yet typeset the solution presented in class for the first part.
The nifty Class-B graced its way into existence on Wedn., 24Oct2018. It had a nice question about tilability-of-unions.

Our Teaching Page
has useful information for students in all of my classes.
It has my schedule,
LOR guidelines,
and Usually Useful Pamphlets.
One of them is the
Checklist (pdf)
which gives pointers on what I consider to be good mathematical
writing.
Further information is at our
class-archive URL
(I email this private URL directly to students).
In all of my courses, attendance is absolutely required (excepting illness and religious holidays). In the unfortunate event that you miss a class, you are responsible to get all Notes / Announcements / TheWholeNineYards from a classmate, or several. All my classes have a substantial class-participation grade.
