  3. Course objectives • Logic: Introduce a formal system (propositional and predicate logic) which mathematical reasoning is based on • Proofs: Develop an understanding of how to read and construct valid mathematical arguments (proofs) and understand mathematical statements (theorems), including inductive proofs. Also, introduce and work with various problem solving strategies and techniques • Counting: Introduce the basics of integer theory, combinatorics, and counting principles, including a brief introduction to discrete probability • Structures: Introduce and work with important discrete data structures such as sets, relations, sequences, and discrete functions • Applications: Gain an understanding of some application areas of the material covered in the course
