Discrete Mathematics is the foundation of Computer Science. Each topic in this course has been chosen for its direct applicability to some important aspect of Computer Science. Most topics have multiple applicability. For example, Symbolic Logic is at the core of hardware design. It also serves as the foundation for the concepts of programmatic and algorithmic reasoning, branch on condition and program correctness. The text for the course this semester is DISCRETE MATHEMATICAL STRUCTURES by Malik and Sen. The publisher is Course Technology. The course is being taught by Prof. Constantine Roussos. More information about the course and instructor is given below. |
