\subsection*{Course Description}
Topics in this course include logic, sets, functions, equivalence relations and partitions, mathematical induction, and countability.

This course puts a particular emphasis on writing mathematically. This will include using words. Proof writing in particular is a major focus of the course.

\subsection*{Exams}
There will be midterm exams in class on Friday, October 7, and Friday,
November 11. Each of these will cover material up to and including the
previous Monday. Exam makeups or rescheduling will be permitted
only in extreme circumstances. 

Students will not use calculators or any other electronic gagetry during exams. Students wishing to use a cellphone on the desk during an exam as a clock should consider using a watch or turning their heads and looking at the clock every so often. This should be necessary no more than once per minute.

The two midterm exams will be weighted equally in your course grade,
with the final exam weighted double. The final exam will be
cumulative, but the midterm exams will not be.

\subsection*{Quizzes}
In the class meeting following each homework assignment due-date, a
short quiz will be given, covering the same material as the
homework. Quiz questions are meant to be similar to the easier
questions on the homework. Missed quizzes will only be excused with
good reasons.

Students will not use calculators or any other electronic gadgetry during quizzes.

\subsection*{Semester paper}
A semester paper will be due on Monday, November 29 (the day after Thanksgiving Break). The paper will be written with small groups on a topic of the group's choosing. Group sizes will be from 1 to 3. More detailed information about the paper is forthcoming.
