AS/SC/ MATH 1190
3.0 FW
Previously MATH 1120 3.0, MATH 1090 3.0
|
Introduction to
Sets and Logic
|
Sets, functions, relations, induction, proof techniques, logic and logic circuits, basic
combinatorics and some basic graph theory.
The course is intended for math majors and other students
wanting an introduction to discrete mathematics. The topics covered are widely used
throughout mathematics; many will crop up again in other mathematics courses. The purpose
of this course is to give these topics a thorough treatment early in a student's
mathematical studies, with the intention of enhancing his or her understanding of future
courses, irrespective of whether those courses have MATH 1190 as a prerequisite.
The emphasis will be on understanding the basic ideas, and
developing an appreciation for mathematical reasoning, proofs and problem solving.
In recent years this course has been numbered as MATH 1090.
In 1998/99, several sections of MATH 1090 were designated as being for Computer Science
students, and covered a very different selection of topics. Starting in 1999/2000, all
sections of MATH 1090 (q.v.) are for computer science majors or those intending to
be computer science majors, while the traditional topics listed above now find their home
in (all sections of) MATH 1190.
The textbook is still to be determined. Prerequisite:One
OAC in mathematics or equivalent, or AK/MATH 1710 6.0.
Exclusions:AS/SC/AK/MATH 1090 3.0, AS/SC/MATH 1120 3.0. This course is not
open to any student who has taken or is taking any 3000- or higher-level MATH course.
Note: Students who plan to major or minor in Computer Science must take AS/SC/AK/MATH 1090
3.0 instead of this course.
