Course objectives
The course links up high school knowledge with basic mathematical concepts and ideas which a student needs. It mainly deals with fundaments of mathematical logic, set theory, algebra and combinatorics.
Syllabus
  • 1. Basic logical notions (propositions, quantification, mathematical theorems and their proofs).
  • 2. Basic properties of integers (division theorem, divisibility, congruences).
  • 3. Basic set-theoretical notions (set-theoretical operations including cartesian product).
  • 4. Mappings (basic types of mappings, composition of mappings).
  • 5. Elements of combinatorics (variations, combinations, inclusion-exclusion principle)
  • 6. Cardinal numbers (finite, countable and uncountable sets).
  • 7. Relations (relations between sets, composition of relations, relations on a set).
  • 8. Ordered sets (order and linear order, special elements, Hasse diagrams, supremum a infimum).
  • 9. Equivalences and partitions (relation of equivalence, partition and their mutual relationship).
  • 10. Basic algebraic structures (grupoids, semigroups, groups, rings, integral domains, fields).
  • 11.Homomorphisms of algebraic structures (basic properties of homomorphisms, kernel and image of a homomorphism).
