Course code : IDISM2-U1
ECTS Credits : 5 Status : Compulsory
Placement : 2. semester Hours per week : 4
Length : 1 semester Teaching Language : Danish if no English students are present

Principal Content : Discrete Mathematics Part:
Expressions and sets; reduction rules for logic expressions; relations and functions;
define and apply equivalence relations; construct and apply functions;
natural numbers; apply induction to verify properties of natural numbers; define
a prime number and use Euclid´s algorithm for factorizing an integer; define a
language from the elements of a set; define a regular language; form strings from
a regular language; construct examples on regular languages; define a finite state
machine as a 6-tuble; describe simple finite state machines by tables and graphs;
pattern recognition by finite state machines; minimizing the number of states in a
finite state machine; construct a finite state machine for a given application;
apply a simple clustering method for exploration of data; apply the clustering in
a simple pattern recognition system.
Teaching method : The teaching in Discrete Mathematics is a combination of sessions with lectures
and students solving problems, either manually or by using Matlab.
Furthermore a selection of problems must be solved and handed in during the
course.
Required prequisites : Documented knowledge corresponding to Mathematics 1 and Programming 1.
