An introduction to discrete mathematics, particularly those brances of importance in computer science, including probability theory, analysis of algorithms, combinatorics, and graph theory. Topics covered include discrete sums, recurrence relations, generating functions, asymptotics, and special functions. Applications include the study of trees, permutations, strings, maps, and graphs. Students will use computer algebra systems and other pertinent computational tools, in order to verify and develop analytic results throughout the course. Prerequisites COS 126, MAT 103 and MAT 104.
