DISCRETE MATHEMATICS FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE

CSE2DMX

2020

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.
