PRESENTATION OUTLINE
THE APPLICATION OF DISCRETE MATH
- Discrete mathematics is a branch of mathematics that deals with discrete objects and concepts, as opposed to continuous objects and concepts
Continuation
- For a computer scientist, discrete mathematics is an essential field because it provides the foundation for many areas of computer science, including algorithms, data structures, computer networks, databases, and programming languages.
Continuation
- An example is using the algorithms and data structures to develop a program for a rubik's cube
- We will need concepts in set theory which is the study of collections of objects and the relationships between them.
Continuation
- Another example is using algorithms to encrypt and decrypt information. When you send an email, for example, you want to ensure that it's secure and only the intended recipient can read it.
Continuation
- To do this, you could use a encryption algorithm that takes the original message and transforms it into an encoded message that can only be decrypted by someone who has the key. The key is used to scramble and unscramble the information, making it unreadable to anyone who doesn't have it
Continuation
- To do this, computer scientists use concepts from discrete mathematics such as number theory, which is the study of numbers and their properties
Conclusion
- In conclusion, discrete mathematics is important to computer science because it provides the foundation for many areas of the field and enables computer scientists to solve real-world problems.
Continuation
- By studying discrete math, computer scientists can create efficient algorithms and data structures, design secure networks and databases, and create new technologies that can change the world.
