Course description and aims
Discrete mathematics plays an important role in mathematical and computing sciences. The objective of this course is to provide the fundamentals of disctere mathematics.
Student learning outcomes
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.
Keywords
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
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
The lectures provide the fundamentals of discrete mathematics.
