MATH 209 Discrete Mathematics
Discrete means separate and distinct. Discrete mathematics deals mainly with the natural or counting numbers (1, 2, 3, …), which are discrete, whereas calculus is concerned with real numbers, which are continuous. This course is an introduction to many of the topics of discrete mathematics such as set theory, logic, discrete probability, linear algebra, computer science, graph theory, game theory, number theory, and group theory. This course teaches some specific techniques and applications, but the emphasis is on problem solving and proof.
