Course objectives
The course links up high school knowledge with basic concepts of discrete mathematics. It mainly deals with fundaments of mathematical logic, set theory, notions of mappings and relations, combinatorics and graph theory. After passing the course, a student will be able to understand and explain basic mathematical notions and techniques and their mutual context. A student knows about practical applications of the methods and notions of discrete mathematics (function as a mapping, relations in databases, problems treated by graph theory).

Syllabus
  • Basic logical concepts (formulae, notation for mathematical statements, proofs)
  • Basics of set theory (set operations, including the Cartesian product).
  • Mappings (types of mappings, composition).
  • Cardinality of a set (finite, countable and uncountable sets).
  • Relations (types and properties of relations, composition).
  • Equivalences and partitions (kernel of a mapping, constructions of selected number domains).
  • Ordered sets (order relations, Hasse diagrams, complete lattices, isotone mappings).
  • Combinatorics (permutation, combination, inclusion and exclusion principle).
  • Graph theory (oriented and non-oriented graphs, conectedness, spanning trees, Euler graphs, basic alghorithms).

Teaching methods
The subject consists of talks and obligatory seminars. The talk presents key notions, their properties and methods of use. Problems are collectively solved in seminars to develop student's insight. Student's advances are checked by automatized testing.
Assessment methods
The examination consists of written and oral part. The written part is typically of more importance. The oral part tests student's ability to react and to discuss his/her work during the term.
