Synopsis:

We illustrate methods based on combination of (CONtinuous) calculus and discrete (disCRETE) structures, so

calles concrete mathematics. Theorems are motivated by problems from informatics and they are illustrated on problems

from informatics.

Requirements:
Syllabus of lectures:

1. Difference calculus on sequences

2. Matrix calculus for solving of systems of linear difference equations

3. Words without forbidden subchains

4. Generating functions: ordinary, exponential, Dirichlets function

5. Methods of use of generating functions

6. Applications of generating functions to difference equations

7. Hilberts metric and its applications to linear maps

8. Joint spectral radius

9. Nonlinear recurrence relations

10. Asymptotic growth of solutions of recurrence relations
