Fundamental Concepts of Mathematics for Computer Science
Price: 19.99$
In this course, students will learn the fundamental principles of discrete mathematics as they relate to computer science. Discrete mathematics is a branch of mathematics that deals with discrete, rather than continuous, objects. It is an essential tool in computer science, as it provides the mathematical foundations for the design and analysis of algorithms, software engineering, and computer systems. Upon completing the course, students will be able to understand and apply the basic methods of discrete mathematics, including set theory, logic, combinatorics, and graph theory. These methods will enable them to analyze and solve problems related to the design and analysis of algorithms, as well as the development and operation of software and computer systems. In addition to acquiring a strong foundation in discrete mathematics, students will also develop skills in problem-solving and critical thinking, which are crucial for success in computer science and other fields. By learning to think logically and systematically, students will be better prepared to tackle complex challenges and make informed decisions in their future careers. In particular, students will be able to: Reason mathematically about basic data types and structures (such as numbers, sets, graphs, and trees) used in computer algorithms and systems; distinguish rigorous definitions and conclusions from merely plausible ones; synthesize elementary proofs, especially proofs by induction. Model and analyze computational processes using analytic and combinatorial methods. Apply principles of discrete probability to calculate probabilities and expectations of simple random processes.
