| Course Goals: | Discrete mathematics is characterized by techniques and representative problems that are quite different from those that a student typically encounters in the usual mathematics courses such as calculus and differential equations. The goal of this course is to introduce the student to these techniques and to lay the foundation for more advanced courses in computer science and computer engineering. | |
