Extension School

This page contains information specific to Extension School students. Please note that more information will be added to this page, particularly up to and including the first week of classes.

Prerequisites

Prerequisites for this course for Extension School students is CSCI E-51; course CSCI E-121 is also recommended. Students must have good programming skills, be very comfortable with recursion, basic mathematical ideas and notations, including sets, relations, functions, and induction. See the schedule for some suggested background reading on some of these concepts. Feel free to contact the instructor if you have questions about the requirements or other aspects of the course.

Two points to emphasize: (1) this is not an introduction to programming; students should already know how to program, ideally in at least couple of languages. (2) you must be very comfortable with recursion, basic mathematical ideas and notations, including sets, relations, functions, and induction.
