MA6566 DISCRETE MATHEMATICS syllabus-subject-notes-pevious-year-questions-papers-bank

OBJECTIVES:
To extend student’s Logical and Mathematical maturity and ability to deal with abstraction and to
introduce most of the basic terminologies used in computer science courses and application of ideas
to solve practical problems.

UNIT I LOGIC AND PROOFS 9+3
Propositional Logic – Propositional equivalences - Predicates and Quantifiers – Nested Quantifiers –
Rules of inference - Introduction to proofs – Proof methods and strategy.

UNIT II COMBINATORICS 9+3
Mathematical induction – Strong induction and well ordering – The basics of counting – The
pigeonhole principle – Permutations and combinations – Recurrence relations – Solving linear
recurrence relations – Generating functions – Inclusion and exclusion principle and its applications.

UNIT III GRAPHS 9+3
Graphs and graph models – Graph terminology and special types of graphs – Matrix representation of
graphs and graph isomorphism – Connectivity – Euler and Hamilton paths.

UNIT IV ALGEBRAIC STRUCTURES 9+3
Algebraic systems – Semi groups and monoids - Groups – Subgroups – Homomorphism’s – Normal
subgroup and cosets – Lagrange’s theorem – Definitions and examples of Rings and Fields.

UNIT V LATTICES AND BOOLEAN ALGEBRA 9+3
Partial ordering – Posets – Lattices as posets – Properties of lattices - Lattices as algebraic systems –
Sub lattices – Direct product and homomorphism – Some special lattices – Boolean algebra.

OUTCOMES:
At the end of the course, students would:
 Have knowledge of the concepts needed to test the logic of a program.
 Have an understanding in identifying structures on many levels.
 Be aware of a class of functions which transform a finite set into another finite set which relates to
input and output functions in computer science.
 Be aware of the counting principles.
 Be exposed to concepts and properties of algebraic structures such as groups, rings and fields.
