DISCRETE MATHEMATICS FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE
MAT2DMX
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 indiscrete binary states. Among the topic covered are: sets, relations, combinatorics, analysis of algorithms, Big-Onotation, graph theory and its applications, and automata. All these topics are central to the application of mathematics in electronics and computer science.
