MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATIONS OF COMPUTER APPLICATIONS 

OBJECTIVE: 
To learn the mathematical foundations applicable to computing.

 


 


 

Sets - Relations – Posets - Functions - Mathematical Inductions (Simple and strong) – Principles of Counting (Addition & Multiplication)

 



 

Graphs - Basic concepts - Isomorphism – complements - Matrix representation of graphs - Trees, Spanning trees, Minimal Spanning tree Algorithms - Euler graphs - Hamiltonian graphs.

 



 

Recurrence Relations and Generating Functions - Homogeneous and non-homogeneous recurrences and their solutions - solving recurrences using generating functions
Mathematical Logic – Predicate Calculus – Scope – Binding – Resolution – Regular Grammars

 



 

Finite Automata – Context-Free Grammars – Chomsky’s Normal form -Griebach Normal Form - Push-down Automata - Equivalence of CFL’s and PDA’s - Non-context free languages
