Computer programs are engineering products created to solve various problems, but on the other hand, programs and their underlying
algorithms have a strong mathematical aspect. Knowledge of such aspects is necessary for the efficiency of execution of algorithms
and programs, and for the development of new algorithms. In other words, considering the mathematical aspects of programs
and algorithms is not only theoretically and mathematically interesting, but also has engineering implications. In this lecture,
students will learn the mathematical treatment of various concepts in the basic fields of mathematics, sets, relations, functions,
and Boolean algebra, which are necessary for thinking about algorithms and programs, by doing exercises as needed.
The mid-term and final examinations will be given during class time. The mid-term exam will be given in the 8th class and the final exam will be given in the 14th class.
The mid-term and final examinations will be given during class time. The mid-term exam will be given in the 8th class and the final exam will be given in the 14th class.
The objective of this course is to provide students with a basic knowledge of discrete mathematics and an understanding that
will be useful in the mathematical treatment of algorithms and programs in the future.
- Acquire a basic knowledge of sets, relations, functions, and Boolean algebra and be able to perform basic operations in these areas.
- Be able to view programs and algorithms from a discrete mathematical standpoint.
- Students will be able to further develop their studies based on what they have learned in this lecture.

The evaluation will be based on a weighted average of the exercises, mid-term exam and final exam.
The weighted average will be 30% for the exercises, 30% for the mid-term exam, and 40% for the final exam.
70% will be given when the student has a general understanding of the course content and is able to answer the questions in a reasonable manner.
