Study Notes

EMath 105 Discrete Mathematics I for SE

  • Course offered by the ECE Department
  • Topics include Discrete Mathematics fundamentals and applications for SE students

Number Theory

  • The integers and division are fundamental concepts in number theory
  • Number theory involves specific notations, terminology, and theorems associated with integers and division, vital for various algorithms like hash functions, cryptography, digital signatures, and online security.

The Divides Operator

  • Notation: 3 | 12 (read as "3 divides 12")

  • Specifies when an integer evenly divides another integer.

  • Notation: 5 | -12 (read as "5 divides -12")

  • Specifies when an integer evenly divides another integer.

  • Notation: 5 ∤\nmid∤ 12 (read as "5 does not divide 12")

  • Specifies when an integer does not evenly divide another integer.

  • Key Definitions:

    • a divides b (written as a | b): There is an integer c such that c * a = b
    • Factor/Divisor of b: if a divides b, then a is a factor or divisor of b
    • Multiple of a: if a divides b, then b is a multiple of a.
  • Examples:

    • 3|-12 is True
    • 3|7 is False

Results on the Divides Operator

  • If a | b and a | c, then a | (b + c)
  • If a | b, then a | bc for all integers c
  • If a | b and b | c, then a | c

Divides Relation

  • Va, b, c ∈\in∈ Z:
    • a|0
    • (a|b ∧\land∧ a|c)   ⟹  \implies⟹ a | (b + c)
    • a|b   ⟹  \implies⟹ a|bc
    • (a|b ∧\land∧ b|c)   ⟹  \implies⟹ a|c
  • Corollary: If a, b, c are integers, such that a | b and a | c, then a | mb + nc whenever m and n are integers.

Quotient and Remainder

  • In division of a by d:

    • q = quotient, r = remainder
    • a = d × q + r
    • 0 ≤ r < |d|
  • Example:

    • 101 divided by 11: 101 = 11 × 9 + 2
      • q = 9
      • r = 2
  • More Examples:

    • 25 mod 7 = 4
    • 25 mod 5 = 0
    • 35 mod 11 = 2

Modular Arithmetic

  • If a and b are integers and m is a positive integer, then "a is congruent to b modulo m" if m divides a − b.
  • Notation: a ≡ b (mod m).
  • Rephrased: m | (a−b)
  • Rephrased: a mod m = b mod m

Number Systems

  • Decimal (base 10): digits 0-9
  • Binary (base 2): digits 0-1
  • Octal (base 8): digits 0-7
  • Hexadecimal (base 16): digits 0-9, A-F (A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15)

Conversion to Base b

  • Given an integer n and a base b>1, Algorithm used to find base b-representation
  • Find n mod b to get the rightmost digit.
  • Replace n with the quotient n/b
  • Repeat

  • Multiplication Algorithm: Example provided (e.g., (110)2 * (101)2 = (11110)2)

  • Modular exponentiation: Algorithm to calculate bn mod m efficiently, important for large integers, Example given

  • Division and modulus algorithm

Combinatorial Analysis

  • Fundamental counting principles

    • Product Rule: If there are n₁ ways to do the first step, and n₂ ways to do the second, then n₁n₂ are possible for both
    • Sum Rule: If there are n₁ ways to do one task and n₂ ways to do a second task, the total ways to complete one task OR the other is n₁ + n₂
