Prerequisite:

None

Schedule:

Full 16 week semester. Time TBD. FLC Main campus.

Course Number: TBD

Catalog Description:

This course is an introduction to the essential discrete structures used in Computer Science, with emphasis on their applications. Topics to be covered include: elementary formal logic and set theory, elementary combinatorics, recursive programming and algorithm analysis, digital logic and switching, combinational circuits, and computer arithmetic.

What the Course is About and Why YOU Should Take It:

This is a really good course for programmers who want to improve their understanding of the discrete mathematics underlying computer programs and hardware. It will deepen your knowledge, and make you a better programmer.

This course is identical to CSC 28 at CSU, Sacramento. This is a required course for Computer Science majors and Computer Engineering majors at CSU, Sacramento. It also articulates to other 4-year programs. Check www.assist.org to be sure.
