Objectives of studying the discipline

Acquaintance with the problems and methods of discrete mathematics. Forming the skills of discrete mathematical thinking and the ability to apply it in solving specific problems.
As a result of the study, the student should be able to:
– formulate the main statements from the considered sections of discrete mathematics;
– apply the main statements to solve typical problems.
