COURSE DESCRIPTION

The aim of this course is to learn discrete mathematics. It is the study of mathematical structures which are discrete (elements take finite values as opposed to continuous structures). It is very difficult to find a branch in computer science & engineering which does not use discrete mathematics.
    We will be covering five main topics-- proofs, combinatorics, graphs, probability & number theory. The emphasis will be to learn different concepts and techniques used to prove theorems in computer science. The course will be full of puzzles and examples.



Text Book:  - There is no single textbook. See Links .
