Master Discrete Mathematics-Set Theory, Relations & More

Welcome to this course on Discrete Math. In this course you will learn Set Theory, Relations, Functions and Mathematical Induction.

Discrete Math is the real world mathematics. It is the mathematics of computing. The mathematics of modern computer science is built almost entirely on Discrete Math. This means that in order to learn the fundamental algorithms used by computer programmers, students must have a solid background in Discrete Math. At most of the universities, a undergraduate-level course in discrete mathematics is a required part of pursuing a computer science degree.

"Set Theory, Relations and Functions" form an integral part of Discrete Math. They are the fundamental building blocks of Discrete Math and are highly significant in today's world. Nearly all areas of research be it Mathematics, Computer Science, Actuarial Science, Data Science, or even Engineering use Set Theory in one way or the other. Set Theory is now-a-days considered to be the base from where all the other branches of mathematics are derived.

"Mathematical Induction", on the other hand, is very important for the Computer Program/Algorithm Correctness Proofs used in Computer Science. Correctness Proofs are very important for Computer Science. Usually coders have to write a program code and then a correctness proof to prove the validity that the program will run fine for all cases, and Mathematical Induction plays a important role there. Mathematical Induction is also an indispensable tool for Mathematicians. Mathematicians use induction to conclude the truthfulness of infinitely many Mathematical Statements and Algorithms.

This course is a perfect course to understand Set Theory, Relations, Functions and Mathematical Induction and learn to solve problems based on them. After completing this discrete math course, you will be able to:

  • define a SET and represent the same in different forms; (Set Theory)

  • define different types of sets such as, finite and infinite sets, empty set, singleton set, equivalent sets, equal sets, sub sets, proper subsets, supersets, give examples of each kind of set, and solve problems based on them; (Set Theory)

  • define universal set, complement of a set, difference between two sets, and solve problems based on them; (Set Theory)

  • define Cartesian product of two sets, and solve problems based on them; (Set Theory)
