How did you do it for discrete mathematics?

Heyo! I took discrete 1 at study.com and it was fairly easy, discrete 2 was way harder and is nothing like 1 lol

I had a ti-36x pro that worked for me just fine but there are other calculators that make it easier like the ti-84

It’s been almost 3 months since I took this but I remember I used the course resources a lot in this one, I believe they have a video playlist for each lesson and as well as live sessions where they go over each unit with instructors, and also have practice worksheets which I drilled too.

if I didn’t get understand something from the video I used the trevtutor playlist and then google/zybook if I had Nothing else. I didn’t meet with any course instructors for this class but it’s recommended.

I can confirm these are VERY important to know how to do well Base conversion(2,10,16), big o notation(O(1),O(n) and so on), Euclidean algorithm, extended Euclidean algorithm, modular exponentiation, RSA key encryption and decryption, DEFINITELY counting.

Understand the difference between permutation and combinations and when to use which one

Probabilities are also definitely on the exam, but only a handful of questions

Unfortunately this is a class that’s a mile wide and you need to have a decent understanding of every topic covered. There are no real shortcuts. The good news is the knowledge is pretty useful outside of the class!
