Course Objectives Discrete mathematics is an increasingly important field of mathematics because of its extensive applications in computer science, statistics, operations research, and engineering. The purpose of this course is to teach students to model, analyze, and solve combinatorial and discrete mathematical problems. This course introduces also the importance of algorithms in computing.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • understand and apply the basic combinatorial formulae and counting principles
  • solve linear recurrence relations
  • know basic notions of graph theory
  • gain the basic knowledge of searching and sorting algorithms
Course Content Analysis and Complexity of Algorithms, Elements of Discrete Probability Theory, Recursive and Iterative Implementations, Sorting and Searching Algorithms, Graphs, Trees and Paths.
