Bring your own materials (calculator, pen, paper, etc.) to participate effectively
20 Equipment & in classroom activities. You are not allowed to borrow from others inside the
Aids
classroom during class activities.
Note: Besides class note, Please keep at least one blank A4 size paper per class
with you.
21 Course Discrete Mathematics is needed to see mathematical structures in the object you
Rationale work with, and understand their properties. This ability is important for software
engineers, data scientists, security and financial analysts (it is not a coincidence
that math puzzles are often used for interviews). We cover the basic notions and
results (graphs, probability, number theory etc) that are universally needed. To
deliver techniques and ideas in discrete mathematics to the learner we
extensively use interactive puzzles specially created for this specialization. To
bring the learners experience closer to IT-applications we incorporate
programming examples, problems and projects in our courses.
CO2: Solve problems related to counting discrete objects and use various
techniques of mathematical induction (weak, strong and structural induction) to
prove simple mathematical properties of a variety of discrete structures.
[Cognitive]
CO3: Model and solve real world computing problems using various concepts
of discrete mathematics. [Cognitive]
24 Teaching Most of the topics will be covered from PPT file which directly match to the
Methods textbook. For the rest of the topics, reference books will be followed. Class notes
(Lecture PPT) will be uploaded on the web. White board will be used for most of
the time. All the class will be conducted with projector. Students must participate
in classroom discussions for case studies, problems solving.
25 Topic Outline All topics and problems are from the main text if not specified otherwise.

Policies
Assignme There will be one assignment and a capstone project presentation.
nts and Average marks will be counted. Delayed submission will not be
accepted.
Capstone
Project Any kind of plagiarism in assignment will carry zero mark.
Presentati
on Two or more copied assignments will carry zero mark in all
assignments. Zero tolerance will be shown in this regard.
Capstone Project Presentation will be on group basis. Three
groups will present their task at the end of class. Project idea,
dress code, & presentation fluency will differentiate the team
members marks.
Class Test There will be three CTs, best of two will be counted. A CT can
(CT) be taken with an announcement in prior or without any
announcement.
Exams Mid-term and final exam will be closed book, closed notes.
Mobile is strictly prohibited in exam hall. Please bring your own
watch and synchronize time during exam hours.
Test If any student fails to appear in the test and have not clarified the
Policy: actual reason to the teacher personally beforehand, his/her score
for the test will be zero. No make-up for class test will be taken
because it has alternative (three out of four). No make-up for mid
will be entertained without presence and recommendation of
guardian and written permission of the department.
