Lattice always remember that Stirling moment when we first saw Class-C (pdf).

it is a Sign that all is well-defined with the world...

There was a test of prerequisite knowledge Friday, 24Aug2012. The Prereq encouraged students to self-evaluate if they should be in the course. The mini-test will count for 4%—8% of course grade.
The mini-test selected some topics from your Calc knowledge (Integration by parts, Intermediate-Value Thm and Mean-VT. Chain rule, etc.), High-school knowledge (formula for a line between two points, the Quadratic Formula, intersecting a line with a parabola, etc.),
It also asked you to know the Math-Greek alphabet (pdf), which we will use in class frequently.
Here is a sample test (pdf) which was much longer than the actual prereq.
Greetings. This is a continuation of my Combinatorics 1 (above).

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.

Combo quizzes so far (pdf).
[Updated: Friday, 22Mar2013]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.
