Why Take the Discrete Mathematics Online Course?

Discrete mathematics covers a wide range of topics that are particularly important to the areas of computer science and mathematics. There are far too many topics included in the area known as discrete mathematics to be covered in a single semester. This online math course gives some highlights of the subject—highlights which will appear repeatedly in future computer science and mathematics courses.

In the Discrete Mathematics online course you'll learn:

  • Symbolic logic
  • Set theory
  • Relations
  • Functions
  • Proofs by induction
  • Recurrence relations
  • Counting techniques

Discrete mathematics has a well-deserved reputation as one of the more challenging 200-level mathematics courses, so be prepared to work hard!

Part of the reason discrete mathematics is difficult is that it has a significantly different flavor than the mathematics classes you have taken prior to this course. Unlike college algebra, learning about the concepts and point of view of discrete mathematics is at least as important as mastering various computational techniques.

The methods used to describe and solve problems in discrete mathematics are as varied as the topics. You will learn about permutations, combinations, inclusion-exclusion counting, characteristic polynomials for recurrences, rules of logical and methods of doing proofs, and properties of sets, and other tidbits along the way.

Besides vocabulary and methods, another central goal of discrete mathematics is learning to read and construct proofs, particularly writing proofs using the method of induction. Induction is certainly one of the basic tools of both computer science and mathematics. You might find learning to read and do proofs will be the greatest challenge in this online course.
