COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES
(CLOs)
Upon the successful completion of the course, students should be able to:
• Use formal methods of symbolic propositions to evaluate elementary mathematical
arguments and identify logical reasoning.
• Prove assertions using basic proof methods.
• Synthesize induction hypotheses, proofs, and derive closed-forms of series and
recurrences for growth rates of processes.
• Apply graph theory models to solve problems of connectivity.
• Use logical notation to define and reason about fundamental mathematical concepts
such as sets, relations, functions, matrices and integers.

Academic Dishonesty (1)
• UAEU has a policy covering academic dishonesty. It covers three aspects of the problem:
• Definitions of dishonesty: collusion, cheating, plagiarism. CITE YOUR SOURCES… Etc.
• Responsibilities of faculty and students: Don't tolerate it - report it. If you see something, say something.
• Consequences of dishonesty: anything from a 0 on an assignment to dismissal from the university. A second
offense is more serious than the first.
• A link to the complete policy is found below:
• https://www.uaeu.ac.ae/en/catalog/plagiarism_and_academic_integrit y.shtml
Expectation!
• Self-motivation
• Ask Google, Go to YouTube… Etc.
• Self-learning
• Read uploaded course materials
• Ask questions…
• Hard-working
• Critical thinking
• Feel free to come and meet me with any doubts.
• Complete worksheet on time
Please, call or email, if unable to meet during office times to schedule an appointment.
Point to ponder!!
• Be ready for the class on time.
• No mobile phones while class is going on.
• No unnecessary talking with other classmates…If there is any question raise your
hand for my attention.
• No other business while class is going on.
• Inform me prior if you miss a quiz/assessment/test/assignment with a valid reason
and get approval from the advisory unit. So that I can plan for a retest.
