CS 280 or equivalent. It is essential that you be familiar with the basics of discrete mathematics, as covered (for example) in CS 280. We will make extensive use of trees, sets, functions, relations, and other key concepts. You should also have a solid understanding of basic mathematical proof techniques, including a good grasp of mathematical induction.
If you have not taken CS 280 or an equivalent course, and/or if you are unsure about your background, please talk to Lucja.
