- In every programming class, there's always some subset of mathematics involved. Whether it's understanding number conversion or calculating the efficiency of an algorithm in big O notation, math is an integral part of programming, and even every day life. Hello, my name is Peggy Fisher, and I want to welcome you to foundations of programming, discrete mathematics. In this course, I use an open source functional programming language called Standard ML to demonstrate the concepts of discrete mathematics. I'll explore various ways to manipulate sets of data. Using various mathematical operators, I'll discuss proofs, logical expressions, lists, and other topics to improve code efficiency, saving time and making your code easier to maintain. After I explain each concept, I'll provide you with a challenge, where you can apply your knowledge. I can't wait to share just how much fun math can be. So grab your calculator, and let's get started on our adventure into discrete mathematics.
