Content

The course offers an introduction into discrete structures. The following themes will be covered in the lectures, and treated in more detail in the proseminars.

Recommended literature

There is a lot of literature on Discrete Mathematics and Discrete Structures. We here only give some pointers to literature that is relatively close, contentwise, to this course. (Note that the exam will be based exclusively on the material as presented in the lecture/on the slides. That is, the literature below is to be seen as supplementary only.)
