I have booked a zoom meeting room during the time of the final exam in case there are any questions or concerns about the statements of the problems. The meeting should already appear in your canvas zoom meetings. Check your canvas inbox for more information. 

There are a couple of small changes from the list of topics from February (the biggest is that section 8.3 on Network flows was omitted). Here are the list of textbook sections with some remarks.

13.1*, 13.2*, 13.3, 13.4, 13.5 

14.1, 14.3

13.1, 13.2 offer mostly conceptual coverage, our focus on coding was in sections 13.3, 13.4, 13.5.

 I will supply videos for 14.2 and 14.4 however these topics will not be covered on the final exam. 

In general, the following guidelines apply in courses at the Department of Mathematics: 
- The examination lasts 4 hours. In addition, you will have an extra 30 minutes to scan and upload your PDF. 
- All examination aids are allowed (e.g. books, online resources, scientific programming tools, etc.). 
- It...

The zoom link will be the same one for the Friday student meet up scheduled at the same time. 

The assignment can be found at this link: PDF  TEX

I received a request to post the text book sections listed on the schedule in a list. This does not include eventual extra topics which are and will continue to be posted on the schedule. 
1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.6 (1.6 to be covered after graph theory)

Just a reminder that the mattermost site is up and running. Don't forget to join the channels  "videos" and "exercises". 

Your representatives for the course are: 

Leandros de Jonge (leandrod at mail.uio.no) 

Thomas Heartman (thomoh at math.uio.no) 

Tobias Opsahl (tobiasao at student.ikos.uio.no)       

Following the government's update to the infection control measures on Jan 20th, we will continue with the current digital format until further notice. 

The week of the 18th to 22nd teaching will be digital. 

Exercise sessions on Monday will be in zoom. 

Screencasts will be made available for Thursday and Friday.

The second half of the lecture time slots will be on zoom, that is 13:15 on Thursday and 11:15 on Friday. 

Due to the national corona measures all teaching will be digital until at least the 18th of January. 

- There will be no exercise session on January 11th.

- Thursday January 14th we will meet on zoom from 14:15-15:00 for a course introduction. This meeting will contain important information on the organization of the course. Please join!! 

- Screen casts will be made available covering sections 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 of Aigner. 

- Friday January 15th we will meet on zoom from 11:15-12:00 to discuss the material of the screen casts. 

Please contact me as soon as possible if you do not have access to the course textbook. 

The plan will be to cover the following topics: 

Enumerative combinatorics

- Summation methods

- Generating functions 

- Asymptotic analysis

Chapters 1, 2, 3, 5 (some sections may be omitted)

Graphs and Algorithms

- Graphs and trees

- Matchings and Networks

- Searching and sorting methods

Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9  (some sections may be omitted)

Algebraic Systems

- Modular arithmetic

- Coding theory

- Cryptography

Chapters 12, 13, 14  (some sections may be omitted)

This course planned to follow the textbook "Discrete Mathematics" by Martin Aigner, together with screencasts, and notes supplied by the instructor. If you have any problems obtaining the textbook or other course materials please contact the instructor by email.
