1. The aim of this course is to introduce you with a new branch of mathematics which
is discrete mathematics, the backbone of Computer Science.

2. In order to be able to formulate what a computer system is supposed to do, or to

prove that it does meet its specification, or to reason about its efficiency, one needs
the precision of mathematical notation and techniques. The Discrete Mathematics
course aims to provide this mathematical background.

Objective: Throughout the course, students will be expected to demonstrate their

understanding of Discrete Mathematics by being able to do each of the following

Sl. No.

1. Use mathematically correct terminology and notation.

2. Construct correct direct and indirect proofs.

3. Use division into cases in a proof.

4. Use counterexamples.

5. Apply logical reasoning to solve a variety of problems.
