COM1002   Foundations of Computer Science   (20 credits)

Description

In the first semester of this module, we will cover the topics in discrete mathematics that provide an essential foundation for later studies in the department. This includes topics such as sets, functions, sequences and relations, propositional and predicate logic, boolean algebra, combinatorics, induction, recursion, proof strategies, and graph theory. In the second semester of this module, we will cover the topics in continuous mathematics that provide an essential foundation for later studies in the department. This includes topics such as trigonometric,  exponential and logarithmic functions, polynomials, limits and continuity, differential calculus of one and two variables, integration, series summation and power series, matrices, vector calculus and linear algebra.
