Discrete Structures. Lecture 1

This document outlines a course on discrete structures that covers topics like logic, proofs, sets, relations, graphs and trees. It begins with an introduction that distinguishes between discrete and continuous data. It then defines discrete mathematics as the study of discrete objects and structures . The syllabus lists the topics to be covered in the course. Reference books are provided and ...

1.1 Defining sets d collection of distinct objects. The objects in a set are called the elements, or members, of the set. A se its members inside curly braces. For example, the set {2, 4, 17, 23} is t e same as the set {17, 4, 23, 2}. To denote membership we use the ∈ s mbol, as in 4 ∈ {2, 4, 17, 23}. On the other hand, non-membership is de

All of these tactics and proof strategies are expounded in this excellent lecture by Pierre Casteran. In Table 1.1 we summarize the tactics used to deal with each logical operator and quanti er, and then in Table 1.2 we give the Coq commands which carry out these operations.

CS 205 - Introduction to Discrete Structures I Course Description This course introduces student to the mathematical tools of logic and induction, and to the basic definitions and theorems concerning relations, functions, and sets. Later courses in the computer science curriculum build on the mathematical foundations covered here.

PDF A Course in Discrete Structures
Preface Discrete mathematics deals with objects that come in discrete bundles, e.g., 1 or 2 babies. In contrast, continuous mathematics deals with objects that vary continuously, e.g., 3.42 inches from a wall. Think of digital watches versus analog watches (ones where the second hand loops around continuously without stopping).




What is discrete mathematics? Discrete mathematics is the study of distinct objects or structures and their relationships to one another For example: How many ways can a valid password be chosen? Can traffic flow between two computers in a network? How can we transform messages to hide their contents?
