About

About the course

Course content

The course is primarily for computer science students, but should also be of interest to students who take courses in mathematics. There are no prerequesities except high school mathematics. The course gives an introduction to combinatorics, set theory, logic, induction and recursion, relations and functions, graph theory, formal languages and finite state automata.

Learning outcome

The course aims at giving an introduction to combinatorics and set theory, logic, induction and recursion, relations and functions and graph theory, such that the students can recognize, understand and use these concepts in applications, e.g. within information technology.

Learning methods and activities
