QTM 2601 - Applications of Discrete Math

Institution:

Babson College

Subject:

Description:

4.00 credits QTM2601 APPLICATIONS OF DISCRETE MATH (Advanced Lib Arts) Discrete mathematics is used whenever objects are counted, when relationships between finite sets are studied, and when processes involving a finite number of steps are analyzed. The kind of problems solved include: How many ways are there to choose a valid password on a computer system What is the shortest path between two cities using a transportation system How can a circuit be designed that adds two integers How can you send secret messages You will learn the discrete structures and techniques (found in mathematical logic, combinatorics, graph theory, Boolean algebra, and cryptology) needed to understand and solve these problems. You will develop mathematical maturity and problem solving skills by studying models in such diverse areas as computer science, data networking, business, engineering, chemistry, and biology.
