Hi 080 Discrete Structures students, Next Tuesday, hopefully the textbooks will have been in for a day or two. Until then, THERE IS NO ASSIGNMENT due. The textbook problems to turn in will NOT be assigned until everyone has the textbook. --- What should you do for now? 1. Study and practice the Truth Tables online and review your handout and lecture notes on De Morgan, conjunction, disjunction, implication, negation and propositional logic. 2. Review and practice the binary. What is 259 in binary? SHOW YOUR WORK for all of these What is 97 in binary? problems. What is binary number 11110000 in base ten decimal? What is 1000111 in base ten? SHOW YOUR WORK What is 1011110011 in base ten? What is 110001 in base ten? SHOW YOUR WORK What is 11111000 in base ten? 3. Try out the Draw This online textbook exercise. 4. Review the web page at: http://cns2.uni.edu/~jacobson/c080.html 5. Look over the Josephus problem from our textbook online site. Read about it and play with the Flash application. http://webspace.ship.edu/deensley/DiscreteMath/flash/ch1/sec1_1/josephus.html Note: Our class web page links to josephus problem Flash application. I will be doing the stats for SIX different volleyball games this weekend at the UNI invitational tournament on Friday evening and all day on Saturday. http://unipanthers.cstv.com/sports/w-volley/niwa-w-volley-body.html Again, there is no assignment handed out yet which has been assigned yet, because 8 students are waiting to get their textbook. Thus the extra handouts today for everyone to utilize and read. Nothing is due next Tuesday for class #3! Have a great weekend! Mark
