Will not repeat the body text. I’ll crosspost questions here that I answer or might be answerable by lemmy’s population (mostly CS program questions).

From georgebush0000: Hello, has anyone ever taken CPSC 121 and MATH 341 (introduction to discrete math)? If so, did you find that CPSC 121 alone gave you adequate preparation for the course? Because I was kind of surprised to see that MATH 341’s pre-reqs are just “one of MATH 220, 223, 226 or CPSC 121”. I’ve only taken math up to MATH 12 or precalculus 12 but did quite alright in CPSC 121 and found the course content super interesting. I appreciate any advice!
I’ve taken CPSC 121, not MATH 341, so I’m basing my answer off the syllabus at https://personal.math.ubc.ca/~solymosi/341/341.html. I have also worked through part of generatingfunctionology, which is mentioned in the syllabus.
Based on the course outline there doesn’t seem to be much material you need to know that you didn’t learn in 121. The other courses also have little to no focus on the topics in the class, so I think the point of the pre-reqs is the ability to think mathematically and prove things (as 223 and 226 are both honours courses, and 220 is a proof course). It might help to read a mathematical proof book (I hear How to Prove It by Velleman is a good starting point).
