311- Mathematics for Computer Science

Instructor: Adam Klivans

We are using Quest!

Quest is a website developed by the College of Natural Sciences that hosts all of the videos we will be using for this "flipped" course. Before each lecture, you will watch typically 2-3 videos and take a quiz. In class, we will work as many practice problems as possible. Frequently, we will break up into groups to solve these problems with hints from me (the instructor) and the TAs. The idea is for you to absorb background material on your own, so we can do more fun things (like problem solving) during class.
