  • Preparation for classes - 51 hours per semester
  • Class attendance - 42 hours per semester
  • Preparation for credit - 40 hours per semester
  • Preparation for exam - 35 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The course is targeted at fundamental combinatorial reasoning. Basic concepts, methods and models of discrete mathematics are explained. Finally, applications on word problems are practised. The course is performed in English.
The student understands the basic concepts and principles of discrete mathematics. On a variety of word problems, he/she demonstrates the utilization of the fundamental techniques of combinatorial calculations. The students fulfill all their duties in English.
Prerequisites
Mathematics I (MATEA, MATI, MATIA).

Assessment methods and criteria
Combined exam, Test

Active attendance on the seminars (100 %). Two credit tests - minimum 55% of points each. Written exam test - 4 word problems.
