CS 102 introduces a number of topics in the mathematical foundations
of computer science: logic, sets, functions, relations, basic number
theory, proof methods, combinatorics, probability, recurrence
relations, graphs, and models of computation.
Prerequisites: CS 101 (or concurrently)
Suggested course(s) to take next: CS 201, CS 202
Courses like mathematical foundations of computing opened my eyes to the vast array of different applications & fields of computer science.
