Preface

Discrete mathematics deals with objects that come indiscretebundles, e.g.,

1 or 2 babies. In contrast, continuous mathematics deals with objects that

varycontinuously, e.g., 3.42 inches from a wall. Think of digital watches versus analog watches (ones where the second hand loops around continuously without stopping). Why study discrete mathematics in computer science? It does not directly help us write programs. At the same time, it is the mathematics underlying almost all of computer science. Here are a few examples: Designing high-speed networks and message routing paths.

Finding good algorithms for sorting.

Performing web searches.

Analysing algorithms for correctness and eciency.

Formalizing security requirements.

Designing cryptographic protocols.

Discrete mathematics uses a range of techniques, some of which is sel- dom found in its continuous counterpart. This course will roughly cover the following topics and specic applications in computer science. 1.

In the end, we will learn to write precise mathematical statements that captures what we want in each application, and learn to prove things about these statements. For example, how will we formalize the infamous zero- knowledge property? How do we state, in mathematical terms, that a banking protocol allows a user to prove that she knows her password, without ever revealing the password itself?
