DISCRETE MATHEMATICS FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE

CSE2DMX

2019

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

This subject is an introduction to discrete mathematics. Concepts in discrete mathematics are useful in several branches of computer science as computers operate in discrete binary states. Among the topics covered are: sets, functions, relations, counting, sequences, modular arithmetic and Big-O notation. All these topics are central to the application of mathematics in electronics and computer science.

Graduate capabilities & intended learning outcomes

01. Demonstrate ability to perform calculations using sets, functions and relations.

Activities:
Online chapters from the prescribed textbook will form the core learning. The learning management system (LMS) will also provide students with self-paced online learning activities (i.e. quizzes, multimedia learning activities) to reinforce the learning. In addition, webinars will provide students with opportunity to perform guided problem solving activities.

02. Demonstrate ability to perform calculations using modular arithmetic.

Activities:
Online chapters from the prescribed textbook will form the core learning. The learning management system (LMS) will also provide students with self-paced online learning activities (i.e. quizzes, multimedia learning activities) to reinforce the learning. Specific algorithms in computer science which use modular arithmetic will be used to illustrate its purpose.

03. Implement calculations where enumerative combinatorics are needed.

Activities:
Online chapters from the prescribed textbook will form the core learning. In addition, webinars will provide students with opportunity to perform guided problem solving actives.

04. Compare algorithms arising in computer science for time complexity

Activities:
Online chapters from the prescribed textbook will form the core learning. The learning management system (LMS) will also provide students with self-paced online learning activities (i.e. quizzes, multimedia learning activities) to reinforce the learning. In addition, webinars will provide students with opportunity to perform guided problem solving actives. Common sorting, searching algorithms will be used to illustrate concepts.
