Introduction to the mathematics of representing and manipulating discrete objects. Topics include numbers, modular arithmetic, counting, relations and graph theory. Methods of proof and reasoning - such as induction and mathematical logic - will also be covered. Some applications to cryptosystems, hashing functions, and job scheduling will be included. (Lec: 3, Lab: 0, Tut: 0.5)
