MATH 210 - Discrete Mathematics I

(3 semester hours)
Prerequisites: MATH 120 or MATH 220
Description: This course provides the student with an understanding of multiple mathematical concepts and methods, which shape the foundation of modern information science in a form that is relevant and useful. Discrete mathematics plays a fundamental role for computer science, which is similar to that played by calculus for physics and engineering. Many concepts in computer science are best understood from a perspective that requires expertise with mathematical tools and certain reasoning skills associated with mathematical maturity. The topics covered draw on current material from several mathematical disciplines: Boolean Algebra, Formal logic, Set theory, Number Theory, Combinatorics and Relations. Offered Fall semester, annually.
