CALENDAR DESCRIPTION |
CSI2101 Discrete Structures (3,1.5,0) 3 cr. Discrete structures as they apply to computer science, algorithm analysis and design. Predicate logic.

COURSE OBJECTIVES |
Discrete mathematics and structures form the very foundation for computer science, and are essential in every branch of computing. In MAT1348 (discrete mathematics for computing) you have been introduced to fundamental problems and objects in discrete mathematics. In CSI2101 (discrete structures) you will learn more advanced concepts in this area, and at the same time increase your knowledge of how to apply them to various types of problems in computing. While learning how to analyse an algorithm, prove the correctness of a program, model a network problem with graphs or use number theory in cryptography, you will be sharpening your mathematical skills by practicing problem solving, modeling, logical reasoning and writing precise proofs. |

MARKING SCHEME: |
Final Grade (G): if (0.25*M + 0.50*F)/0.75 < 50% then G=(0.25*M + 0.50*F)/0.75 if (0.25*M + 0.50*F)/0.75>= 50% then G=0.25*M + 0.50*F + 0.25*A |
