Welcome Email - August 17th
Welcome to HON 210.
If you are getting this email, then you are currently
registered for HON 210-306, The Joy of Mathematical Puzzles
and Games.
A tentative schedule and syllabus is posted at the course
web site - http://people.uncw.edu/hermanr/puzzles/ I
also put up simple Canvas pages which point directly to
these pages or you can access them via my homepage - http://people.uncw.edu/hermanr.
Some of the pages are tentative since I'm still working out
some of the details. On the syllabus page you will find two
books mentioned with links to Amazon and online pdfs of the
books. The first book will be the main book, but there will
be many other resources which I’ll place at the other links
on the course site: http://people.uncw.edu/hermanr/puzzles/materials.htm, http://people.uncw.edu/hermanr/puzzles/Links.htm,
and http://people.uncw.edu/hermanr/puzzles/AudVid.htm.
We will meet twice a week on TR at 11:00 in Sartarelli Hall
(formerly Osprey) 1021. You are expected to come to every
class in order to be successful. This is a face to face
class.
Assignments are not posted yet, but I can give you your
first one now: Email me telling me about yourself, your
background, what interests you about the course, your
expectations, and anything else you think I should know.
This will help begin our communication. You might also want
to start reading The Lady or the Tiger and the first Chapter
of the main text. You might want to see a late night
appearance of Smullyan at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E27v83WWiGo.
I hope you find this to be a fun and challenging course.
Homework Assignments - August 30
There seems to be some confusion on the problem that were
assigned. Problems in the Recreational Mathematics book are
at the end of the Chapter and labeled Exercises. The
problems for the first two weeks start on page 26. I've
added starting page numbers to the Assignments page.
