Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  • recall and apply the basic logic principles;
  • recognize and construct logically valid arguments;
  • solve problems involving set operations;
  • analyze, construct and apply binary relationships;
  • design graphs and digraphs;
  • determine an isomorphism;
