General
- Use the language of symbolic logic and predicate calculus to describe, and make deductions about, simple statements.
- Create direct proofs, proofs by contradiction and proofs by mathematical induction.
- Apply fundamental combinatorics principles including permutations and combinations to discrete probability problems.
- Apply recursive definitions and algorithms.
- Interpret numbers written in different number systems and convert from one number system to another.
- Use fundamental concepts of elementary number theory including divisibility, modular arithmetic and the Euclidean algorithm.
- Understand functions, relations and graphs.
