This course introduces the foundations of discrete mathematics focusing on providing a solid theoretical foundation for further work. Topics include sets, functions, relations, propositional and predicate logic, basic of counting, and introduction to graphs.
Discrete mathematics involves the study of objects, which are separated or spaced apart from each other. For example, finite sets and the set of integers are discrete sets, while the set of real numbers would be considered to be a continuous, or non-discrete, set of objects.
Through this course, students will be expected to develop mathematical experience and maturity in dealing with mathematical concepts.
