Combinatorics and graph theory lay at the heart of discrete mathematics and computer science. In the course, we begin with a brief review of the fundamentals of combinatorics---counting, permutations, binomial coefficients, and the pigeonhole principle---and then devote most of the course to the fundamentals of graph theory. We cover the most common definitions and ideas of graph theory, proving important theorems and introducing important algorithms, but mostly aiming to simply establish the common language of discrete mathematics and computer science.

LEADERSHIP 
IN PRACTICE

Modern Leadership is not a formula. Neither is it a way to force through ideas in a group or being the Rockstar of an organization. Great Leadership will create a better and more productive, creative and efficient workplace, while bad Leadership creates uncertainty, stress and inefficiency. In this course we will go through hands-on experience from being a leader in a fast-growing tech company and what has worked well in this environment.
