Discrete Mathematics

DISCRETE MATHEMATICS: This course is an umbrella of mathematical topics.  It is a course designed for students who will undertake higher-level mathematics in college that may not include Calculus.  Essential to the study of discrete mathematics are the topics of counting, matrices, and recursion.  As time allows, additional topics may be selected from a group which includes graph theory, social choice, line programming, game theory, logic, coding theory, queuing theory, set theory, growth patterns, mathematical induction or further study of probability and statistics.  Technologies such as the graphing calculator and computers will be frequently used tools in this course.
