MAT 227 - Discrete Mathematics


Credits: 3
Lab/Lecture: Three lecture.

Course emphasizes discrete mathematics connections to computer science by exposing students to foundational concepts of set theory, logic, counting, induction, proof techniques, graph theory, and algorithms.
Course Outcomes:
Students will be able to:
  1. establish the validity of logical propositions;
  2. compare the cardinality of given sets;
  3. determine the correctness of a proof;
  4. classify a proof;
  5. solve a recurrence relation;
  6. identify the properties of a relation;
  7. create proofs using relations, order relations, and equivalence relations;
  8. calculate permutations and combinations of sets;
  9. calculate the empirical probability of an event;
  10. solve problems involving modular arithmetic;
  11. identify the properties of a graph;
  12. determine paths, cycles, and connectivity given a graph;
  13. represent a graph with its incidence matrix;
  14. use Big-O notation to study the growth of a given function.
