Discrete Mathematics provides an introduction to a survey of topics in mathematics, including problem solving, set theory, logic, number theory, probability, statistics, and graph theory. Students have not previously had the opportunity to study this content in the Algebra, Geometry and Algebra II electives. This course greatly enhances students’ understanding of topics included in the broader field of mathematics. Students taking this course enhance their ability to make sense of problems and persevere in solving them, reason abstractly and quantitatively, construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others, model with mathematics, use appropriate tools strategically, and look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.   To take this elective, students must successfully complete Algebra II or be recommended by their teacher.
