Undergraduate Seminar in Discrete Mathematics: Course Description
Professor Daniel Kleitman taught this seminar course on the MIT campus. MIT students enrolled in 'Undergraduate Seminar in Discrete Mathematics' performed in-depth research in areas of general discrete mathematics, graph theory and combinatorics. Each student was responsible for presenting their research to the class, forming the content of the seminar course. Specific topics researched by MIT students include RSA encryption, zero-knowledge proofs, Fibonacci numbers, domino tilings, game theory and infinities. The OpenCourseWare version of 'Undergraduate Seminar in Discrete Mathematics' makes several student projects from the 2006 seminar available online for self-study. These research projects--covering knot theory, surreal numbers and other topics--may be of interest to other students pursuing an education in Mathematics. OpenCourseWare students may find a background in linear algebra and basic applied mathematics helpful for understanding the research.
Downloadable materials for 'Undergraduate Seminar in Discrete Mathematics' consist of student research projects, which include notes, sample problems, solutions, proofs and reference lists. For more information, students may, visit the discrete mathematics course homepage.
