In the rapidly changing world of information technology and computer science, a solid understanding of the mathematical concepts underpinning different branches of these sciences adds an invaluable dimension to your knowledge. Discrete mathematics provides you with the foundation needed for studies in computer science and mathematics, helping you to think mathematically and use logic and reasoning to solve complex problems. Studying this subject, you will explore the general themes of discrete mathematics: logic and proof, induction and recursion, discrete structures and graphs, as well as algorithm design and efficiency analysis. Focusing on traditional and emerging real-world applications of the discipline, you will learn about digital logic circuits and number systems, cryptography, finding minimum spanning trees and shortest paths in graphs, analysing the efficiency of searching and sorting algorithms, and topological sorting for scheduling.
