CMSC 145: Discrete Mathematics

Bard College

Sven Anderson
Spring 2012

Course Description

Discrete mathematics provides a quantitative understanding of discrete entities and discrete processes. The ideas of discrete math underlie the science and technology of our time and these ideas inform disciplines such as computer science, environmental science, genetics, and cognitive science. This course links computer science with mathematics and provides a bridge to more advanced topics in data structures, artificial intelligence, algorithms, and computational theory. It will help you learn to think more abstractly, to apply logic and proof, and to analyze algorithms, discrete structures, and combinatoric problems. We will balance our theoretical approach with numerous examples drawn from areas of computer science. Prerequisite: pre-calculus mathematics.
