Discrete mathematics plays an important role in mathematical and computing sciences. The objective of this course is to provide the fundamentals of disctere mathematics.
The students are expected to understand the fundamentals of discrete mathematics appeared in mathematical and computing sciences and also to be able to apply them to practical problems.
Euler characteristic, Four color problem, Euclidean Geometry to Modern Geometry, Lattices, Formal Concept Analysis, Generating function, Integer partitions, Representation theory, Hyperbolic summation, Groebner basis, Experimental mathematics
