Mathematics: An
Introduction
Discrete mathematics is a branch of mathematics that deals with
discrete objects, which are objects that can be separated and
counted.
It is widely used in computer science, engineering, and other fields.
Fundamentals of Set Theory
Set theory is a fundamental branch of mathematics that deals with
sets, which are collections of objects.

1 Sets and Subsets 2 Set Operations


Sets are defined as Set operations such as
collections of elements, union, intersection, and
and subsets are sets complement are used to
contained within larger manipulate sets.
sets.

3 Cardinality
Cardinality refers to the number of elements in a set, and it
helps in comparing set sizes.
Principles of Logic and
Propositional Calculus
Logic is concerned with reasoning and argumentation, while propositional
calculus provides a formal framework for expressing logical statements.

1 Propositions
Propositions are declarative sentences that are either true or false.

2 Logical Connectives
Connectives like "and", "or", and "not" combine propositions to
form more complex statements.

3 Truth Tables
Truth tables are used to evaluate the truth values of logical
statements under different combinations of inputs.
Graph Theory and Its Applications
Graph theory studies the relationships between objects represented as nodes and edges in a graph.

Types of Graphs Graph Algorithms Applications

Different types of graphs, such as Algorithms like shortest path, Graph theory finds applications in
directed, undirected, weighted, minimum spanning tree, and graph various fields, including social
and unweighted, are used to model coloring are used to solve networks, computer networks,
various relationships. problems related to networks, transportation systems, and
optimization, and scheduling. logistics.
Real-World Applications of Discrete
Mathematics
Discrete mathematics has numerous practical applications in real-world scenarios.

Computer Science
Data structures, algorithms, and programming languages heavily rely on
discrete mathematical principles.

Engineering
Optimization problems, scheduling, and network design frequently employ
discrete mathematics techniques.

Finance
Financial modeling and data that can be recognised by its own.
