Using the exercise files

- [Voiceover] Before you get started with this course, make sure to download the Exercise Files, free to all lynda.com members. I recommend placing the Exercise Files on your desktop, providing easy access as you progress through the topics. At the end of each movie, I'll be assigning activities to be completed. Some of the activities have associated worksheets, which can be found in the corresponding chapter folder in the Exercise Files. There's also a file that contains some quick reference documentation. The truth is you could do your homework later, but it'd be much more effective for you to complete the practice right after watching the movies.

In order to learn discrete mathematics, it's important to practice, practice, practice. I can't stress that enough. Repeat the exercises until they're easy. Take as much time as you need, and work at your own pace. Remember the more often you practice math, the better you'll get and the easier it will be to learn new concepts in the future.
