CSCI 0220

Discrete Structures and Probability

CSCI 0220 meets Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 1:00 - 1:50 pm.

I don't know about you, but we're feeling 22! This class, offered during the spring semester at Brown University (and in the fall semester as well starting in Fall 2025), gives you the tools to explore interesting questions and convince yourself and others of their answers. You'll be introduced to new worlds of ideas and ways of thinking. We'll learn about Set Theory, Logic, Number Theory, Combinatorics, and Probability. If these topics sound unfamiliar, not to fear—you're in exactly the right place! This course assumes no prior experience with these topics.

For the spring 2025 semester, this class will be taught by professors Robert Lewis and Ellis Hershkowitz. If you need to email them, please use their shared inbox cs220-instructors@brown.edu.

Please see last year's course missive to get an idea of how the course is structured. This year's course will not necessarily be the same in all ways, but last year's missive will give you a general sense.
