Calendar Description This course is intended for students in mathematically rich disciplines
including those planning to enter an Honours or Major program in
Mathematics or Statistics. An introduction to mathematical ideas,
proof techniques, and mathematical writing, explored through
topics in discrete mathematics.

We will cover a variety of topics including mathematical induction, basic number theory and
modular arithmetic, basic propositional logic, elementary set theory and functional notation,
properties of relations, basic graph theory, and basic counting. MATH 1240 gives an introduc-
tion to mathematical practice in preparation for courses in which mathematical maturity is an
expectation. Students are expected to perform mathematical work with precision and clarity.
Working with these topics necessitates a deep familiarity with a large list of definitions, theo-
rems, and proof techniques. These, and specific skills for each topic, are the focus of instruction.

2 Schedule of Topics
The document Elementary Discrete Mathematics: Notes for MATH 1240 (available on the course
website in both html and pdf format (Content− >Textbook− >Local Notes) summarizes topics
and concepts to be covered in this course. The following table indicates the corresponding
sections from Local notes (and Grimaldi’s textbook). In addition documents posted on UM Learn
recommend specific exercises from Local notes and Grimaldi’s book.
Precise application of definitions is of key importance in this course. You should learn def-
initions from Local Notes verbatim. Deep familiarity and understanding of all things within a
definition is the goal, not merely memorization.
The following table gives a rough estimate of the pacing of the course. Exact timing of topics
may also vary from section to section. Note that we will generally not cover all parts of each of
these sections from the Grimaldi textbook.

2.1 Attending Classes

Students are expected to attend to classes and labs. Moreover, they are expected to familiarize
themselves with upcoming definitions before attending the class/lab.
If you are sick, do not come to the university. Contact your instructor regarding recommen-
dations for catching up. If you missed an assessment while you were sick, refer to Section 5.6.
MATH 1240 Elementary Discrete Mathematics—Fall 2025 Page 7

2.2 Discussion Board Help

Use the appropriate area under Discussions on UM Learn (under the Communications tab) too
ask about course content. This is for two reasons: first, because any of the three course in-
structors can answer your question, we can get you answers faster. Second, someone may have
already asked the question you have, or you might be asking a question someone else had; the
Discussion tab lets all students benefit from answers to common questions.
If you’re uncomfortable asking your question publicly, anonymous posting is enabled. (In-
structors, however, have the ability to identify anonymous posters if inappropriate content is
posted.) If your question is about something personal, please contact your instructor directly.
Questions concerning course content sent to instructors may be posted in Discussions on your
behalf. In such cases, your instructor will point you to the thread where the answer appears.

3 Lab Schedule
Labs are 50 minutes long. You are expected to attend every week; you must attend the section
in which you are registered—due to fire regulations, you may not attend a different lab section.

5 Assessments
Don’t expect private answers from instructors to questions about content or structure of assess-
ments. Watch UM Learn for announcements about them—if we have anything to share about
them it will appear there. If students request additional details that we agree should be known
then that will be posted on UM Learn where all students will equally benefit from our response.

5.1 Honesty Declaration

There is a compulsory assessment in the UM Learn Quiz area called Honesty Declaration. Since
every course has different expectations about what is permitted or not permitted, we want to
make sure that everyone is aware of the academic integrity guidelines in this course. Failing to
complete this element may result in delays in the return of your graded work.

5.2 Quizzes
12 quizzes will be administered using the UM Learn Quiz tool, once per week. The first quiz is
for practice, and does not affect your grade. Use it to familiarize yourself with the UM Learn
quiz process and procedures.
The suggested deadlines are as follows. Completing quizzes following this schedule should
help you to prepare for weekly tutorials. For each quiz you will get 4 attempts. Hard deadline
for every quiz is December 8th, 11:59 PM.

HD & Practice Sep 9 Quiz #5 Oct 14 Quiz #10 Nov 18

Quiz #1 Sep 16 Quiz #6 Oct 21 Quiz #11 Nov 25
Quiz #2 Sep 23 Quiz #7 Oct 28 Quiz #12 Dec 2
Quiz #3 Sep 30 Quiz #8 Nov 4
Quiz #4 Oct 7 Quiz #9 Nov 11

Quizzes will become available one week before the suggested deadline in the table and can
be completed at any time within the availability window. Each quiz will remain available until
December 8 at 11:59 PM.
Of the four attempts your highest score will be your score for that quiz. Missing a quiz will
result in a score of 0. Quizzes will be generally designed to be completed in 15 min, but you will
have at least 30 minutes (or more, depending upon the quiz) to finish the quiz once you start
writing it.
Your attempts will probably not have the same questions because they are randomized.
Quizzes are open book, so you may access your textbook, your notes and anything that
is posted on the UM Learn site during the quiz. However you must complete each quiz on
your own, following the guidelines for academic integrity in Section 7, and you may not access
resources online or elsewhere not specifically mentioned here while writing a quiz.
MATH 1240 Elementary Discrete Mathematics—Fall 2025 Page 9

5.3 Lab Activities

These activities are designed to introduce students to working with this content and to master
mathematical communication—especially proof skills. The topics covered on lab activities can
be anything from week 1 up to the material covered a week prior to the activity. For example,
Lab Activity 4 happens during October 15/16 (see Section3) which corresponds to week 7 (see
Section 2). So Lab Activity 4 can test material from weeks 1-6 (up to and including section 4.2
of Local Notes).
Each lab activity consists of 4 questions to be completed during the tutorial, working in
groups. A “group” may consist of any number of students from 1 to 4. Groups are not fixed;
they may change each week. You may discuss the lab activity with students outside your group
during the tutorial, but your group may not submit work done by members of another group.
Don’t discuss lab activities with students in other tutorials before solutions appear on UM Learn.
Each group is to complete the lab activity on one booklet distributed in the lab (each booklet
is numbered—do not submit pages mixed from multiple booklets!) and return this work to the
TA at the end of the lab. Also return all unused booklets to your TA at that time. Students may
consult their own notes, the textbook, or material posted on UM Learn while completing a lab
activity but not the broader internet.
Every student should write their lab activity in their assigned lab, writing lab activity in a
different lab will result in a grade of zero for that activity.
Your final lab activity score will be calculated based on your highest 7 scores out of 8 (the
lowest score will be dropped). The first missed lab activity will always be considered to have the
lowest score (0 score) and will be dropped.
If you missed the lab activity, and it is the first lab activity that you missed, you do not need to
do anything. The first missed lab activity is considered to have a score of 0 and will be dropped as
per best 7 out 8 policy. For second (or third) missed lab activity, students are required to submit
the Self-Declaration form within 48 hour of missed assessment. Provided that a student has a
substantiated excuse, the weight of the second (or third) missed lab activity will be transferred
to the final. If a student misses more than three lab activities, fourth and subsequent missed
lab activities will be graded as zero and no weight redistribution for fourth and subsequent lab
activities will be entertained.
Barring unforeseen circumstances marked lab activities should be released within 10 days.

5.4 Tests
Three tests will be written in your lab during the lab time (see schedule in Section 3). The length
of the tests will be 45 minutes and the coverage for each test will be announced on UM Learn by
Friday of a week prior to the test.
The tests will be closed book tests. You may not have aids of any kind during the tests
and should bring only writing implements. All electronic devices, notes and communications
equipment (such as cell phones) are forbidden at your desk. There is no opportunity to write
these tests outside of the lab time. You may only attend your assigned lab to write the test.
There are no deferred tests. Your test grade will be computed with all three test scores equally
weighed (15% per test).
If you miss a test, you must submit a self-declaration form within 48 hours of the missed test,
otherwise you will receive a grade of zero for the test. Provided that a student has a substantiated
excuse, the weight of the missed test will be transferred to the final. In order to receive a grade
MATH 1240 Elementary Discrete Mathematics—Fall 2025 Page 10

of D or higher for the course students need to write at least one test and get at least 35% average
on the tests that they have written.

5.5 Final Exam

The final exam will be a three (3) hour exam that covers all topics in the course. The final exam
will be a closed book exam. The exam will be scheduled by the registrar. Student must write the
final exam to receive a grade D or higher in the course.
Final examination and grades policies can be found here:
[Link]
You will eventually receive a link to view your final exam but probably not immediately after
your grade appears, and not in any case before the Deferred Final Exam is written.

5.6 Missed Assessments

Currently, students are able to self declare a temporary absence from classes.
(See the document ‘Self-Declaration for Brief or Temporary Student Absences’:
[Link]
The version of the Self-Declaration form is provided on UM Learn Content − > Missed Assess-
ments.
If you have missed an assessment (lab activity or test), you need to perform the following
steps:

• If you missed the lab activity, and it is the first lab activity that you missed, you do not need
to do anything. The first missed lab activity is considered to have a score of 0 and will be
dropped as per best 7 out of 8 policy.

• If the missed assessment is a test, or it is a lab activity (second or third missed lab activity),
students are required to fill out the Self-Declaration form and submit completed form as
an attachment to Missed assessment collection form within 48 hour of missed assessment.
Links to both forms can be found at on UM Learn Content − > Missed Assessments.

Concerning specific accommodations that may be applied:

• There are no accommodations for missed quizzes, but you may complete up to four at-
tempts of each quiz on UM Learn any time until the end of classes.

• There are no opportunities to reschedule, defer or otherwise make up marks for lab activi-
ties or tests.

• Of 8 lab activities your lowest mark is dropped, which may be the 0 attached to a missed
lab. Up to 2 subsequent missed labs may have their weights transferred to the Final Exam.
If you miss more than three lab activities, fourth and subsequent missed lab activities will
be graded as zero.

• For a missed final exam accommodations you should contact an advisor in your faculty of
registration. If this is done by email, use a U of M email address and include your full
name, student number, course number and explain your case.
MATH 1240 Elementary Discrete Mathematics—Fall 2025 Page 11

Failure to initiate contact in the required period may result in a grade of zero for the assess-
ment, with no possible alternate arrangements.
The provisions for dropping the lowest scores in lab activities or transferring weight to the
final exam when computing the final grades are meant to accommodate the event that a student
is unable to complete an assessment due to outside circumstances. These are not merely options
you can choose out of convenience.
Single circumstances that result in missing multiple course assignments/tests/classes/labs
may require medical documentation (e.g., Authorized Withdrawal, Tuition Fee Appeal, Leave of
Absence, or accessibility-related accommodations) should be discussed with an advisor in your
faculty/college/school of registration.

6 Expectations: Grading
Assessment results from all tests should available in approximately 10 days from writing. Final
exams will take somewhat longer due to end of term procedures.
Crowdmark is used to grade all lab activities, tests, and Final Exam. Results will be returned
to the students from Crowdmark by email. In addition to your numerical score, you will receive
comments and feedback on your work. You are strongly encouraged to follow up with your
instructor about this feedback if you have any questions about it.
Scores from UM Learn quizzes during the term will be released after you complete the at-
tempt. You are strongly encouraged to follow up with your instructor about questions regarding
your responses on quizzes.

7 Academic Integrity
The Department of Mathematics, the Faculty of Science and the University of Manitoba all regard
acts of academic dishonesty in quizzes, tests, examinations or assignments as serious offences
and may assess a variety of penalties depending on the nature of the offence.
Acts of academic dishonesty include bringing unauthorized materials into a test or exam,
copying from another student, plagiarism and examination personation. Students are advised
to read the sections entitled Academic Integrity and Final Examinations: 4. Personations in the
General Academic Regulations of the current Undergraduate Calendar. Note, in particular, that
cell phones and pagers are explicitly listed as unauthorized materials, and hence may not
be present during tests or examinations.
Penalties for violation include being assigned a grade of zero on a test or assignment, being
assigned a grade of “F” in a course, compulsory withdrawal from a course or program, suspension
from a course/program/faculty or even expulsion from the University. For specific details about
the nature of penalties that may be assessed upon conviction of an act of academic dishonesty,
students are referred to University Policy 1202 (Student Discipline Bylaw) and to the Department
of Mathematics policy concerning minimum penalties for acts of academic dishonesty.
All students are advised to familiarize themselves with the Student Discipline Bylaw, which
is printed in its entirety in the Student Guide; also available on-line or through the Office of the
University Secretary. Minimum penalties assessed by the Department of Mathematics for acts of
academic dishonesty are available on the Department of Mathematics web-page.
The Student Discipline By-Law may be accessed at:
[Link]
html
Information from the Faculty of Science regarding Academic Integrity can be found at:
[Link]
Academic integrity guidelines for this course:

(i) During quizzes and lab activities students may consult their own notes, either of the course
textbooks, lab worksheets, or previously completed assessments. No other materials are
acceptable. While students may consult allowed resources, they may not copy from them.

(ii) During the tests and Final exam, you will not have access to any additional materials.
You are not permitted a calculator, translator, or access to an electronic device capable of
sending and receiving signals.

(iii) All work is to be completed independently unless otherwise specified. If you have ques-
tions, ask your instructor or the TA.

(iv) Unless otherwise specified, students are not permitted to share questions or answers to as-
sessments in whole or in part with others. This includes posting portions of assessments
to online forums or websites. You may not share information about an assessment with
anyone who has not yet written that assessment.

(v) Students are NOT permitted to allow anyone other person access to their UM Learn ac-
count. Doing so is a breach of the University’s Computer Usage Agreements:
[Link]
MATH 1240 Elementary Discrete Mathematics—Fall 2025 Page 13

(vi) Any grade of ‘0’ assigned as a penalty for an academic integrity incident will not be dropped
in the computation of the final grade.

(vii) Students may not post any proprietary materials from this course online at any time during
or after the course. This includes videos provided to you, classrom notes and slides, lab
materials including worksheets and lab activities, test papers, posted solutions screenshots
of any course resources or assessments. Similarly you may not physically remove examina-
tion materials from an examination room, or leave the room with images of examination
papers on any device, under any circumstances.

• When submitting work to be graded in Crowdmark—that is, for

– Lab activities
– Tests
– Final exam
MATH 1240 Elementary Discrete Mathematics—Fall 2025 Page 14

—keep in mind that your pages will be scanned for marking, and that scanners often fail
to reproduce the very edges of a sheet. Therefore do not write within 5 mm ( 14 in) of the
edge of a page. Also do not deface or damage the part of a page containing the QR code,
which may prevent your work from being uploaded for marking. Further, while you may
continue work on available QR-coded surfaces as instructed, if you place work outside the
area allocated for a question (which means after the question, including the back of its
page, up to the beginning of the next question) the marker can score but cannot comment
on such work—so you forgo the likelihood of receiving feedback on it.

It is the policy of the University of Manitoba policy that all technology resources be used in a
responsible, efficient, ethical and legal manner. The student can use all technology in classroom
setting only for appropriate educational purposes approved by instructor and/or the University
of Manitoba Student Accessibility Services.
