Welcome

These are the lecture notes for CSCI 201, math for computer science (discrete mathematics), at Western Washington University. General mathematics that several courses share, such as logic, sets and functions, is kept in the mathematics prerequisites site. These notes include its definitions, from the mds submodule, so each definition is written once and reads the same in both places.

The notes are available in multiple formats:

HTML Website: Navigate using the navbar for easy access to all pages
RevealJS Slides: Each chapter can generate a presentation format with -slides.html suffix
PDF Handouts: Each chapter can generate a PDF handout with -handout.pdf suffix
DOCX Documents: Each chapter can generate a Microsoft Word document with .docx extension
