Document Summary
In addition to hacking, computer scientists have to be able to understand program specications, apis, and their workmate"s code. They also have to be able to write clear, concise documentation for others. Expressing yourself clearly (using english and mathematical expression). Deriving conclusions from logical arguments, several proof techniques. In this course we care about communicating precisely: We want this course to help you during your university career whenever you need to read and understand technical material | course textbooks, assignment specications, etc. You need this course if you do: memorize math; have trouble explaining what you are doing in a mathematical or technical question; have trouble understanding word problems. We all enjoy hacking, that is designing and implementing interesting algorithms on computers. Perhaps not all of us associate this with the sort of abstract thinking and manipulation of symbols associated with mathematics. However there is a useful two-way contamination between mathematics and computer science.
