18.200 Principles of Discrete Applied Mathematics
18.200 Principles of Discrete Applied Mathematics (Spring 2024, MIT OCW). Instructors: Prof. Ankur Moitra, Prof. Peter Shor, and Susan Ruff. This course will teach you illustrative topics in discrete applied mathematics, including counting, generating functions, probability, linear optimization, algebraic structures, basic number theory, information theory, and coding theory. It is a CI-M (Communication Intensive in the Major) course and thus includes a writing component. (from ocw.mit.edu)
| Lecture 06 - More on Generating Functions |
We show how to use generating functions to solve linear recurrence equations. In particular, we use generating functions to derive an expression for Fibonacci numbers. We then discuss generating functions with two variables.
