Student Comments

“Discrete Mathematics (Math 55) at Berkeley is a great course that foremost teaches you about writing rigorous mathematical proofs; a necessary skill for proceeding further with mathematics. The main objects of study in Math 55 are discrete; you will learn how to calculate probability for discrete events, how to model problems using graphs, and use graph theoretic techniques to gain insight. It is a good idea to take this class if you are looking for an introduction into mathematical rigor; for instance if you are having trouble understanding the mathematical reasoning of higher level textbooks. It is also a good class to take for learning typesetting (LaTeX) if you are new to it; as it offers many formal proofs that can be typeset up.” – Joshua Lin, undergraduate mathematics/physics
