Requirements. There are no hard-and-fast requirements for this course. However, you are expected to have knowledge of basic algebra, Cartesian geometry, and calculus. Some knowledge of Logic is a plus.
Evaluation. Students will be graded based on given homeworks, which they will submit by a given deadline.
Suggested Reading. These books are suggested reading, but are not necessary for the course, given the amount of time we have. However, if you are really interested in programming, then you are encouraged to go through these books thoroughly.
