Mathematics for Computer Science

These are some resources from different universities about Dicrete Math.










Aduni University (with lecture videos)

A basic introduction to Calculus and Linear Algebra. The goal is to make students mathematically literate in preparation for studying a scientific/engineering discipline. The first week covers differential calculus: graphing functions, limits, derivatives, and applying differentiation to real-world problems, such as maximization and rates of change. The second week covers integral calculus: sums, integration, areas under curves and computing volumes. This is not meant to be a comprehensive calculus course, but rather an introduction to the fundamental concepts. The third and fourth weeks introduce some basic linear algebra: vector spaces, linear transformations, matrices, matrix operations, and diagonalization. The emphasis will be on using the results, not on their proofs.


MIT University

Fundamental concepts of Mathematics: definitions, proofs, sets, functions, relations. Discrete structures: modular arithmetic, graphs, state machines, counting. Discrete probability theory.
(including problem sets,solved in class solutions , old midterm questions and quizzes)



Princeton University

The fundamental mathematical foundations required for computer science. Topics: propositional and predicate logic, proof techniques, induction, recursion, combinatorics, and functions.

Computer Science Resources on Internet

Internet provides a huge opportunity for every student but in particular for computer science students like me. In this blog , I also intend to present some links to other pages you might find useful. Here we go !!!

Losing Hope ?

Turkish election was underway this weekend. Frankly speaking, though I dont want to be keen on politics, I cant refrain from discussing it.
After the election , the foreign media considered the matter as a battle between religion and secularism. To me , the reality is rather different . Turkey has done a great headway as regards to economics and politics. The government paved the way to EU , though it seems to become unsuccessful , by incessant reforms.
Therefore ,most of Turkish citizens has voted for economic and political stability , not for religious concerns. Watching giant media corporations such as BBC and CNN, I cant understand why they dwell on this so-called clash between religion and politics this much. I think, Turkey has already embraced and internalized secularism and there is no way out of it. However ,it seems we have a long road ahead of us in terms of democracy.
As for the picture , I dont know where it is taken or who is the boy. I just found it on internet but I think it has much to do than just being a picture. Does it symbolize the prospect of future for our next generations ? Let's wait and see, hopefully, if the new goverment carries on paving Turkey's future and make this child smile a bit ...
