Discrete mathematics is the study of discrete objects in contrast to continuous objects. Using no prior knowledge, this comprehensive exploration of the world of integers can help prepare you for coursework and research in computer science, software engineering, mathematics, data science and other fields. Get an introduction to notions of logic, discrete structures, counting, algorithms, proofs, recurrences and graphs. These topics are typically found in introductory mathematics courses for computer science or software engineering and serve as great preparation for anyone interested in programming and computation. Wolfram AI Course Assistant is available for this interactive course.
