Projects

Class Stats

I've released the next two week's worth of projects… following the initial pnc2 project (of which I'm planning to revisit the constraint calculation theme inherent in primes), there is a 3-project sequence called dcf (data compression).
- these projects deal with encoding and decoding data according to various constraints.
- the concepts and algorithms related to encoding and decoding are very applicable in many areas of Computer Science, and Discrete in particular (especially in taking an algorithm and wrangling it deeper down various rabbit holes).
There are also corresponding “weekly puzzle fun” projects for each week, generally increasing in detail/complexity/fun.

Welcome to Discrete Structures! (aka Computer Science math! NOT to be confused with Math for Computer Scientists).
- This is a class that focuses on the patterns, mathematics (combinatorics), logic, and algorithms that are inherent to computing.
- We'll endeavor to do this by working on progressively more involved projects, so you'll get to appreciate the concepts we learn through their application in programs, hopefully in combinations with many others we've learned (not just one-shot isolated programs).
