• This is a core course for second-year undergrads. It introduces basic discrete mathematical structures commonly used across all subareas of computer science while emphasizing proofs. The significant topics covered include the following -
  
  Proof techniques, equivalence relations, partially ordered sets, (in)finite sets, (un)countable sets, special functions, asymptotic growth of functions, setting up recurrences, solving recurrences, generating functions, counting principles, special numbers, discrete probability, and graph theory.
  
  All through, these are all motivated by famous problems and theorems.
