September 17, 2011 – Radu Sorici – “Mathematics of Computer Science”

Metroplex Math Circle will start its 2011-12 sessions with our own Radu Sorici!  This session should be very interesting for students beginning to work on computer programming or accomplished coders who want a better understanding of the mathematical principles behind their work.

In this session Radu will discuss some elementary mathematics that are useful for computer science. Some of the topics covered: logic notation, methods of proof, sets, graph theory, counting principles, etc.   In addition, we will look at some real world applications of the topics discussed.
