Course Descriptor ;This course covers processes that consist of a sequence of countable and separable structures. This is in contrast with calculus, which studies processes in a continuous fashion.

The main themes of this first course in discrete mathematics are logic and proof, induction and recursion, discrete structures, combinatorics and discrete probability, algorithms and their analysis, and applications and modeling. • Logic and Proof: is the main goal of this first course in discrete mathematics which is to help students to think abstractly. Students will learn to use logically valid forms of arguments and avoid logical errors. They will gain knowledge to reason from definitions and to derive new results from those already known to be true. • Induction and recursion: Students will be familiarized with the concept of recursion which is the process of solving large problems by breaking them down into simpler problems that have identical forms. Such approach is widely used in the analysis of algorithms. • Discrete structures: Those will be covered are sets of integers and rational numbers, general sets, Boolean algebra, functions, relations, graphs and trees, formal languages and regular expressions, and finite-state automata. • Combinatorics and Discrete Probability: Basic probability theory will be studied including subjects such as permutations, combinations, expectation, probability axioms and binomial theorem. • Algorithms and their analysis: Designing an algorithm and determining whether or not it is correct requires the use of mathematical induction. In order to compare the algorithms in terms of their memory requirements and their execution speeds, combinatorics, recurrence relations, functions, and O-, V-, and Q-notations will be studied. Course LOs; By the end of the course the student will be expected to be able to: 1. Solve basic binary mathematical operations related to binary logic gates operations 2.

Course Title ECTS ;PHIL 210 Ethics

Course Descriptor; We often judge actions to be either right or wrong, praiseworthy or blameworthy, admirable or shameful, but we rarely consider the grounds of our judgements carefully. Sometimes we think of them as obviously true and we find it difficult to imagine how anyone could ever have thought otherwise. At other times we are tempted to think that moral judgements are neither right nor wrong, but are simply a matter of opinion. This course will enhance your ability to scrutinize such attitudes and to think clearly about a variety of moral issues. We will consider questions like: Do we have a duty to maximize the happiness of the people around us? Under what conditions, am I morally responsible for my actions? Do animals matter morally? Can any action be permissible depending on the consequences, or are there actions that are always wrong, whatever their consequences? Are moral norms, rules and principles valid across cultures? By the end of the semester, you will have a better understanding of some of the fundamental problems in ethics. Course LOs; Learning outcomes describe the knowledge, understanding, skills, and/or attitudes you are expected to have acquired as a result of your participation in the course. Knowing in advance which skills the course aims to develop may help you see the point of some of the activities and may help you focus your attention and effort. Assessments will be both formative and summative. Formative assessments serve to give you feedback on your progress and they will also help your instructors assess whether the course activities have been effective. Summative assessments in this course are generally designed to gauge whether you have attained the learning outcomes.
