Math 245: Discrete Math and Introduction to Proof, Spring 2006

Announcements:
Welcome to Math 245.

Advice of the day:
The first week of this class is pretty intense, so you might want to get a jump on things by installing LaTeX now. Look at the file "What is LaTeX?" at the link below, and install LaTeX on your computer using one of the methods outlined in that document.

Files and Links:
You need a PDF viewer to see many of these files. You can download Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader for free at the Adobe website.
