Grades will be based on homework take-home assignments (70% of points),
and the final exam (30% of points).
|
| Course description: |
The main objective of the course is to study a number of various probabilistic techniques used in
combinatorics, number theory, and computer science.

Homework:
|
A number of problems will be assigned once a week (typically on Thursday evening). These
problems will be graded.
|
The Final: |
The final in-class exam will be comprehensive but will consist of the problems which will be either identical or very similar to
