Week 2
We looked more at sets and set identities and looked at truth tables.
Week 3
In Week 3 we will look at the Laws of Sets and move onto Cartesian Products and Relations.
Tutorials
Are now running as per your timetable. COMP1C-Y’s tutorial is now on in B143 rather than B225.

Week 1
We had one lecture and after listening to me go on about the importance of mathematics to your programme we started the first chapter on Sets and Relations. We saw something new with the concept of the power set of a set.
Week 2
In Week 2 we will look more at sets and set identities, and explore Cartesian Products and perhaps introduce relations.
Tutorials
Tutorials start properly in Week 2.
- COMP1C-X: Tuesday at 15:00 in B241L
- COMP1C-Y: Wednesday at 12:00 in B225
Student Feedback

Test 2
Final CA results below. Unless you excelled, you are identified by the last five digits of your student number.
CA is your total continuous assessment marks out of 30.
PP is your passing percentage: what you need on the final paper to pass.
70P is the percentage you need on the final paper for a first (70%).
AW is the number of attendance warnings: for future reference you can see the fairly strong relationship between attendance and assessment performance.
I will have the assessments with me in today and tomorrow’s tutorials and will send on the marking scheme in a few minutes.

Week 12
In Week 12 we finished Recursion between Monday and Tuesday. Friday was an extra tutorial.
Week 13
In Week 13, we will have five tutorials (normal rooms and times) of which you are invited to up to four (your own tutorial slot plus the up to three of the lecture slots).
Study
Some students need to do extra work outside tutorials. Please feel free to ask me questions about the exercises via email or even better on this webpage.
Student Resources
Anyone who is missing notes is to email me.
Please see the Student Resources tab on the top of this page for information on the Academic Learning Centre, etc. There are some excellent notes on Blackboard for MATH6055.
Student Feedback
You are invited to give your feedback on this module here.
Test 2
I hope to have these corrected at some stage next week. I will also send out the solutions at some point.
Week 11
We finished our study of Graph Theory by looking at Eulerian graphs, Fleury’s Algorithm, Hamiltonian graphs, and Dirac’s Theorem. We then began the last chapter on recursion. We had our test on Friday
Week 12
In Week 12 we will finish our study of recursion and perhaps do a little revision.
Week 13
In Week 13, perhaps we will have five tutorials (normal rooms and times) of which you are invited to up to four (your own tutorial slot plus the up to three of the lecture slots).

Assessment 2
Will be held on the Friday of Week 11 (24 November), at 09:00 in B214 (the usual lecture venue). A sample has been emailed and I also have hard copies with me. I strongly advise you that attending the tutorial alone may not be sufficient preparation for this test so you may have to devote extra time outside classes to study.
Week 10
In Week 10 explored Network Theory, or rather Graph Theory, in more depth. We looked at digraphs, connectedness, valency, walks, and trees.
Week 11
We will finish our study of Graph Theory by looking at Eulerian graphs, Fleury’s Algorithm, Hamiltonian graphs, and Dirac’s Theorem. We will then begin the last chapter on recursion. We have our test on Friday

Week 9
In Week 9, will looked at examples of functions, including lines, quadratic functions, polynomial functions, exponential functions, the natural logarithm function, the floor function, and the ceiling function. We began the chapter on Network Theory by looking at the Bridges of Konigsberg Problem.
Week 10
In Week 10 we will explore Network Theory, or rather Graph Theory, in more depth. We will look at digraphs, connectedness, valency, walks, and trees.
Assessment 2
Will be held on the Friday of Week 11 (24 November), at 09:00 in B214 (the usual lecture venue). Expect a sample test shortly.

Week 8
In Week 8, we lost another lecture with the bank holiday, but we had an opportunity to better understand the function concepts after looking at arrow diagrams and the graph of a function.
Week 9
In Week 9, we will look at examples of functions, including lines, quadratic functions, polynomial functions, exponential functions, the natural logarithm function, the floor function, and the ceiling function.
Test 1
Results have been emailed to you. Solutions and comments here.
Assessment 2
Will be held in Week 11. Proper notice in Week 9, and a sample in Week 10.

In school, we learn how a line has an equation… and a circle has an equation… what does this mean?
The short answer is
points
on curve
solutions
however this note explains all of this from first principles, with a particular emphasis on the set-theoretic fundamentals.
Set Theory
A set is a collection of objects. The objects of a set are referred to as the elements or members and if we can list the elements we include them in curly-brackets. For example, call by 
We indicate that an object 
Elements are not duplicated and the order doesn’t matter. For example:

Catch-Up Material
If you haven’t watched these at this stage you really should:
Week 7
Disrupted by the Friday off, we did two lectures on Functions, looking at the definition of a function. We looked at what it means for a function to be 1-1, onto, and bijective. We looked at the composition of two functions as well as the concept of an inverse function.
Week 8
In Week 8, we lose another lecture with the bank holiday, but we should have an opportunity to better understand the function concepts after looking at arrow diagrams and the graph of a function.
Assessment 1
Results have been emailed to you. I will send ye on a copy in a week or two.
Assessment 2
Will be held in Week 11.

Week 6
The storm interrupted us, costing us two lectures. You must watch the following videos to catch up: Inclusion-Exclusion Principle and the properties of relations. We have/had our test this Friday. A sample has been handed out.
Week 7
In Week 7 w will start the chapter on Functions.
Assessment 1
Test 1 will be held at 09:00, Friday 20 October in Week 6. Everything up to but not including relations is examinable. I have emailed ye a sample, a hard copy of which I gave out in tutorials.
Study
We are probably all going to have to put in some extra study before the test. Please try and find some extra time to try exercises, particularly with any new or harder material such as logs, cartesian products, and power sets. Please feel free to ask me questions about the exercises via email or even better on this webpage.
