This unit will provide an overview of advanced topics in discrete mathematics. In particular the unit will considers partial orderings, algebraic structures and vector spaces. These are axiomatic frameworks that generalise many mathematical systems as well as providing powerful tools for computer science in areas such as cryptography and databases. Also introduced will be mathematical concepts of computability and complexity.
