Lectures

Goal

The objective of this course is introducing students to basic combinatorics and discrete mathematical structures which they will later need to use in informatics. This includes foundations of set theory, basic methods in combinatorics and counting, concepts of probability theory, elementary number theory and graph theory.

Outcome

Upon completing this course, students are expected to be able to work with finite and infinite sets and relations, use basic methods in combinatorics and notions of probability theory, learn elementary number theory with applications, and to understand and utilize concepts of graph theory. Finally, students should be enabled to apply the topics from this course in further studies, especially in informatics.

Theoretical teaching

- Sets (basic operations, relations, cardinality of finite and infinite sets) - Counting (counting methods, binomial coefficients, permutations and combinations) - Introduction to probability (finite probability, union of events, independent events, conditional probability, random variables, expected value) - Elementary number theory (divisibility, prime numbers, congruences, applications in cryptography) - Graphs (terminology, special types of graphs, isomorphism, trees) - Game theory (introduction and examples)
