Note: You are looking at a static copy of the former PineWiki site, used for class notes by James Aspnes from 2003 to 2012. Many mathematical formulas are broken, and there are likely to be other bugs as well. These will most likely not be fixed. You may be able to find more up-to-date versions of some of these notes at http://www.cs.yale.edu/homes/aspnes/#classes.

This is the web page for CS 202: Mathematical Tools for Computer Science for the Fall 2007 semester. Here you can find pointers to various resources for students taking the course. You should check this page periodically for new announcements.
