Demonstrate the application of discrete structures in different fields of computer science.
Solve problems using recurrence relations and generating functions.
Application of different mathematical proofs techniques in proving theorems in the courses.
 • Compare graphs, trees and their applications.

Question Paper Pattern:

The question paper will have ten questions.
Each full Question consisting of 20 marks
There will be 2 full questions (with a maximum of four sub questions) from each module.
Each full question will have sub questions covering all the topics under a module.
The students will have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module.
