Mathematics of Discrete Processes

Depending on the instructor, this course will introduce the student to, among other things, some fundamental concepts from graph theory and combinatorics and will address additional topics from a standard discrete mathematics course within the context of these content areas. There will be an emphasis on modeling real situations and testing intuition. The course seeks to stress pedagogically the process of doing mathematics as an ongoing process and to emphasize the importance of communication of questions, conjectures, and results in mathematics, both verbally and in writing and to model an environment in which inquiry-based learning plays an important role.
