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.
