Course Description
This course introduces the fundamentals of discrete structures that are essential for computer science and related disciplines such as data science. It follows the curriculum guidelines on discrete structures developed by the governing professional organizations ACM and IEEE. It serves students who have taken college level introductory courses in computing and mathematics. Following the principles in our adopted textbook, we aim to achieve breadth rather than depth, to teach mathematical reasoning as well as concepts and skills, and to help students learn to think and prove formally and precisely.
Meetings
The class meets for lecture on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2:50pm-4:05pm in MACD310, and for lab on Thursdays from 2:50pm-4:05pm in MACD103.
