MA2265 DISCRETE MATHEMATICS ANNA UNIVERSITY CSE SYLLABUS

AIM
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.

OBJECTIVES
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 output functions in computer science.
 Be aware of the counting principles
 Be exposed to concepts and properties of algebraic structures such as
semi groups, monoids and groups.
