Discrete Mathematics is the study of discrete objects as opposed to continuous objected like real numbers. The discrete objects like proofs, sets, graphs, colorings, algebraic structures, algorithms etc. These object arise naturally and frequently in many areas of mathematics and computer science and are fundamental in an undergraduate curriculum of computer science and mathematics. In this course, we will focus on Logic, Set Theory, Number Theory, Algebraic Structures, Combinatorics and Graph Theory.
INTENDED AUDIENCE: UG students interested in computer science, combinatorics, etc.

Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100
Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score
YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75.
If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.
Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Guwahati. It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.
