Course objectives

This course aims to equip beginner-level, Computer Science major students with mathematical essentials for studying in Computer Science. It is designed to articulate students in reading technical descriptions on scientific statements effectively and in reasoning discrete mathematical structures (e.g. sets, relations, permutations, graphs, and trees) systematically. Throughout the course, students are expected to understand the concepts of the mathematical foundations of Computer Science clearly and learn to practice these concepts in computational problem solvings of real-world.
