Due to the effect of the ongoing corona virus, the course has been adapted to be almost fully online. Video explanations will be provided in an “ondemand”-format (videos viewable anytime) and Q&A will be done with real-time seminars and offline forums. The exception will be the classroom mid-term exam done on the 8-th week.

Depending on the evolution of the corona virus, details are subject to change.

Overview

This course covers elementary discrete mathematics for computer science and engineering. An emphasis is given on mathematical definitions and proof with topics covering proof methods, induction, graph theory, counting and discrete probability. The course will be given in English.

The course will be evaluated fundamentally with homework, a midterm examination on the 8th week and a small project. The midterm exam will be held in the classroom!

The course will be evaluated based on homework done throughout the course and a single final report.
