New information relevant to this year is as follows :
I have decided to follow more or less the same program as last year. Any eventual changes will be announced at lectures and on this website. Lecture notes will be written up and posted here to cover any material we discuss which is not available in the text-book.
As before, the rough plan is to divide the course into three parts as follows :
Part I : Enumerative combinatorics
Covers sections 2.4, 3.1-3.5, 4.1-4.4, 12.1-12.2, 18.3-18.6 (new edition : 6.1-6.4, 10.1-10.2, 10.4-10.5, 11.1-11.5, 19.1-19.2, 25.3-25.6)
Part II : Graph theory
Covers chapters 8-11 (new edition : chapters 15-18).
Part III : WE WON'T HAVE TIME FOR ANY PART III.
OBS ! The course will be examined by a mixture of written homeworks and a final written exam. You need 12p to pass. There will be 3 homeworks, each worth 3p. The final exam will be worth 19p. It is allowed to work in groups on the homework problems, but each person must write up their own solutions. Evidence of copying will be severely punished !! The questions on the homework will be generally be set at a higher level than those on the exam.
LECTURES AND LEKTIONER :
I expect that some (though maybe not so much, on the evidence of last year) of the time during the 9 lektioner will be used to answer your questions about the homework problems. The first homework will be ready during the week of March 29 - April 2.
I will also write up a list of suggested exercises for the övningsledare to do in advance of each lektion.
Here follows the day-by-day plan, which will be updated regularly.
