Course objectives

This course is focused on understanding basic mathematical concepts necessary for study of computer science. This is essential for building up a set of basic concepts and formalisms needed for other theoretical courses in computer science. At the end of this course the successful students should: know the basic mathematical notions; understand the logical structure of mathematical statements and mathematical proofs; know discrete mathematical structures such as finite sets, relations, functions, and graph; be able to precisely formulate their claims, algorithms, and relevant proofs; and apply acquired knowledge in other CS courses as well as in practice later on.

Syllabus

The course focuses on understanding basic mathematical tools:
Basic formalisms - statements, proofs, and propositional logic.
Proof techniques, mathematical induction.
Sets, relations, and functions.
Binary relations, equivalence.
Partial orderings and closures.
Properties of functions, composition.
Basics of graphs, connectivity, trees.
Graph searching, distance, spanning trees.
Directed graphs, network flows.
Proof techniques for algorithms, induction.
Advanced proof techniques for algorithms.
Infinite sets and the halting problem.

Teaching methods

This subject has regular weekly lectures and compulsory bi-weekly tutorials. Moreover, the students are expected to practice at home using online questionnaires, via IS MU. All the study materials and study agenda are presented through the online IS syllabus.

Assessment methods

Students' evaluation in this course consists of (the sum of) three parts which have rougly equal weights: through term evaluation (minimal score is required), "computer" written exam, and voluntary classical written exam.
The semester evaluation is computed as the sum of a certain number of the best out of all term tests, plus possible bonus points for solving voluntary assignments. All the details can be found in IS syllabus and on the web page. Then the "computer" exam follows, and its sum with the semester evaluation determines student's success in the course. Optional written exam at the end gives students the opportunity to get higher grades.
