First Year Discrete Mathematics BSc/MEng 2019/20
The first year course for Discrete Mathematics students introduces students to basic concepts in the area of Discrete Mathematics. It provides the background knowledge and skills necessary for a deeper understanding of the discipline, as well as a motivation for the breadth of topics to be covered later in the course. Students will learn basic concepts in university mathematics (like proofs, formal arguments, rigour and calculations), exercise mathematical reasoning, perform combinatorial analysis, and acquire knowledge about discrete structures. There is opportunity to develop transferable skills, and the flexibility inherent in the Warwick system allows students to follow their interests in a variety of allied fields, especially in Mathematics and Computer Science.
The normal load is 120 CATS credits. The core of the first year comprises eight modules (108 CATS). In the core, students are required to take four modules from the core of Mathematics (54 CATS), two modules from the core of Computer Science (30 CATS), and two modules devoted to discrete mathematics and its applications that have been specifically designed for the Discrete Mathematics students (24 CATS together). Students should take the remaining CATS selected from the list of optional modules below, including at least 6 CATs from List A.
