Prerequisites: MAA101, MAA104, CSE101
The purpose of this course is to use computer
science and programming to solve
problems in Discrete Mathematics, and
vice versa.
The main objectives of the course are:
❯ Learning to use various tools (recursivity,
symbolic computing, graphs,
matrices…) to deal with complex
problems.
❯ Using computer programming and
experimentation to help prove theorems.
❯ Improving intuition in pure and applied
Mathematics.
Discrete Mathematics happen to offer
a lot of aspects that lend themselves to
computer experimentation. Topics may
include: graphs and adjacency matrices,
number theory, logic, analysis of algorithms,
dynamical systems, elementary
probability…
The course will mainly consist of practical
labs in Python.
The purpose of MAA205 is to use computer science and programming to solve problems in discrete mathematics, and vice versa. Topics include: graphs and their matrices, combinatorics and generating functions, elementary probability, sorting algorithms. The course consists of lectures and practical labs in python.
