MA1256 DISCRETE MATHEMATICS 3 1 0 100
AIM
To extend student’s mathematical maturity and ability to deal with abstraction and to introduce most of the basic terminologies used in computer science courses and application of ideas to solve practical problems.
OBJECTIVES
At the end of the course, students would
• Have knowledge of the concepts needed to test the logic of a program.
• Have gained knowledge which has application in expert system, in data base and a basic for the prolog language.
• Have an understanding in identifying patterns on many levels.
• Be aware of a class of functions which transform a finite set into another finite set which relates to input output functions in computer science.
• Be exposed to concepts and properties of algebraic structures such as semigroups, monoids and groups.
