Discrete Mathematics

Discrete Mathematics is concerned with processes and situations that are finite and discontinuous–things that have an end, can be measured, and given a whole-number value. In this course, students will have the chance to learn a range of discrete math topics that fall outside the spectrum of traditional high school mathematics. Existence problems deal with whether or not a solution exists, counting problems explore how many solutions may exist, and optimization problems focus on finding the most favorable solution to a particular problem. Topics covered may include finite sets and partitions, enumeration, probability, expectation, random variables, and elementary number theory, with an emphasis on applications of discrete mathematics.
