Part of a YH programme at TUC Yrkeshögskola. This course cannot be applied for on its own. Programme code: ITS20JÖN.
Discrete Mathematics is a YH course at TUC that introduces a new way of thinking about sets, relations and logic. The course gives you a basic understanding of algorithms and simple programming, with a graphing calculator as a practical tool. It suits you if you are studying for an IT-related profession and want to build a solid mathematical foundation. After the course you have the mathematical tools needed for further studies in programming and systems development.
Purpose and goal of the course
The goal of the course is to open up a new way of thinking about sets and relations. The goal of the course is also to give the students an understanding of algorithms and simple programming through the use of a graphing calculator.
