Rationale

Discrete mathematics, the study of finite mathematical systems, provides students with mathematical ideas, notations and skills which are critical to, for example, formulating what an algorithm is supposed to achieve, proving if it meets the specification, and analyzing its time and space complexity. Discrete mathematics is essential to the study of computer science.
