This course covers the fundamentals of discrete mathematics
with a focus on proof methods.
Topics include set theory, notation for modern algebra,
propositional and predicate logic from a semantic point of view,
proof methods, functions and relations.
Learning Objectives
It is expected that students who successfully complete this course
will have a basic understanding of the fundamentals of logic and
discrete mathematics, and the ability to structure a proof or
argument and to apply mathematical methods to solve programming
problems. Students will also get an opportunity to improve their
oral presentation skills during the labs, where they will all
be required to make oral presentations.
Prerequisites
None.
Format
1 Semester, 3 lecture hours, 1 lab hours per week.
Method of Instruction
There are three lecture hours per week, taught by the instructor.
During the labs, students will present to a small (20-30 students)
group of their peers exercises they have prepared beforehand.
