Discrete Math For Information Technology –
mth221
(3 credits)
Discrete (as opposed to continuous) mathematics is of direct importance to the fields of Computer Science and Information Technology. This branch of mathematics includes studying areas such as set theory, logic, relations, graph theory, and analysis of algorithms. This course is intended to provide students with an understanding of these areas and their use in the field of Information Technology.
This undergraduate-level course is 5
weeks.
To enroll, speak with an Enrollment Advisor.
