Discrete Mathematics

This course is taught for the seventh time in Spring 2013, by Benne de Weger and myself. See also the course information and Benne de Weger's page. Also, I'll put things on Oase. My half of the course concerns computations in polynomial rings. This fits well with Benne's topic (algorithmic number theory), and also connects very well with research done in the group of Discrete Algebra and Geometry. My half of the course requires
  • access to the book Ideals, varieties, and algorithms which you can find in the TU/e library;
  • hand-outs that I will put on the oase page; and
  • Mathematica running on your laptop.
There will be voluntary weekly hand-in homework (for which some of the exercises are from the book above) and an oral final exam (for both halfs simultaneously).
