Prerequisites
!( IB000ext Math. Foundations of CS || NOW ( IB000ext Math. Foundations of CS ))
The course is intended primarily for students of Bachelor's degree programs at the Faculty of Informatics. Students with a minor plan in Informatics enroll in IB000ext.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.

Course objectives
This course is focused on understanding basic mathematical concepts necessary for study of computer science. This is essential for building up a set of basic concepts and formalisms needed for other theoretical courses in computer science. At the end of this course the successful students should: know the basic mathematical notions; understand the logical structure of mathematical statements and mathematical proofs, specially mathematical induction; know discrete mathematical structures such as finite sets, relations, functions, and graph; be able to precisely formulate their claims and relevant proofs; and apply acquired knowledge in other CS courses as well as in practice later on.
Learning outcomes
After finishing the course the student will be able to: understand the logical structure of mathematical statements and mathematical proofs, deal with and explain basic structures of discrete mathematics, precisely formulate their claims and relevant proofs.
Syllabus
  • The course focuses on understanding basic mathematical tools:
  • Basic formalisms - statements, proofs, and propositional logic.
  • Introduction to predicate logic, quantifiers.
  • Sets, relations, and functions.
  • Proof techniques, mathematical induction.
  • Recursion, structural induction.
  • Binary relations, closure, transitivity.
  • Equivalence and partial orders.
  • Composition of relations and functions.
  • Basics of graphs, isomorphism, subgraphs, directed graphs.
  • Graph connectivity and distance, trees, and spanning trees.
  • Infinite sets and the halting problem.

Teaching methods
This subject has regular weekly lectures and compulsory tutorials. Moreover, the students are expected to practice at home using online questionnaires, via IS MU. All the study materials and study agenda are presented through the online IS syllabus.
Assessment methods
Students' evaluation in this course consists of these three parts: through term evaluation (minimal score is required), "computer" written exam (again, minimal score is required), and an optional classical written exam.
Language of instruction
Czech
