Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
1. Discuss basic properties of graphs and use the ideas to derive new related properties or algorithms.
2. Solve simple recurrences in terms of growth rates and relate them to algorithms.
3. Discuss and derive basic geometric properties (e.g., of lines) in two and three dimensions.
4. Discuss basic properties of small matrices and relate them to geometry as well as apply relevant algorithms (e.g., Gaussian elimination).
