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
- 101 divided by 11:
-
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

- 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

Counting Examples provided in the notes
-
Permutations: Formula
P(n,r) = n! / (n-r)! -
Circular arrangements: The number of circular arrangements of n distinct items is n-1
-
Inclusion-Exclusion Principle
-
Combinations: Formula
C(n,r) = n! / (r! (n-r)!)
Bit strings
- Problems involving bit strings with specific requirements (e.g., number of 1's) are outlined with examples
Exercises
- A collection of practice problems related to these concepts. Sample exercises are included in the notes (e.g., number of possible passwords, choosing a committee of students and faculty)
