Discrete Mathematics

• 52 hrs lectures
• 12 hrs exercises
• 4 hrs pc labs
• 10 hrs projects

• 60 pts final exam (written part)
• 10 pts numeric exercises
• 30 pts projects

The students will obtain the basic orientation in discrete mathematics and linear algebra, and an ability of orientation in related mathematical structures.

The modern conception of the subject yields a fundamental mathematical knowledge which is necessary for a number of related courses. The student will be acquainted with basic facts and knowledge from the set theory, topology and especially the discrete mathematics with focus on the mathematical structures applicable in computer science.
