MAT330/681 LECTURE 2 (2/2/2022): BINOMIALS, MULTINOMIALS, INTEGER SOLUTIONS





Announcements: Today's lecture is remote asynchronous: please work through the short videos below in order, pausing if needed to solve exercises along the way, before I explain the solution on the video. Our next class, on Monday Feb 7, will be in person; so make sure you finish working through the videos below before that. Also, please remember that the mock homework (HW0) is due today, via Blackboard, by 11:59pm. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out by email.
