Peer Legacy for MA375: "Discrete Mathematics"
All students who have previously taken MA375 are welcome to use this page to leave comments for/give advice to future students.
- Although Discrete Mathematics is "rated" as a 300 level course, the only pre-requisite for the courses is (i) mathematical curiosity and (ii) a logical mind. My MA 375 session with Professor Walther did not feel like a math course - it was much more like a guided tour through some of the most intriguing mathematical ideas (that even an unprepared undergraduate can learn and appreciate). Also - topics covered in discrete mathematics invites the professor teaching the course to go off on a tangent and share neat stories about mathematicians behind the theorems, e.g. Euler in Königsberg and Turing and his halting problem. Whatever your mathematical maturity, I recommend you take this course (particularly for you freshmen. your entry-level cal course is usually tedious). If you want to get a taste for some of the topics covered in MA 375, take a look at the class notes for spring 2012 session with Professor Walther. - Daniel Lee
