COMP 121 - Foundations of Computing Theory


Discrete mathematics represents the language, symbolic notation, and problem solving principles that lead to a rich appreciation of computing and computational thinking. This course is an initial semester of exposure to the tools for precise vocabulary, powerful notation, useful abstractions, and rigorous thinking that is needed as someone works in computing. A working premise of the course is that it is not possible to make excellent and effective use of computers without involving oneself in mathematical considerations. This course provides practice with an introduction to symbolic expressions, abstractions, and the mathematics that enables you to be that person.
