Discrete Structure (CSC 165) is a core Second Semester subject in Tribhuvan University’s BSc CSIT program (current / new course code). It builds the mathematical toolkit for computing—sets, functions, logic, proofs, counting, probability, relations, graphs, and trees—alongside practical algorithm labs.
On this page you’ll find the official CSC 165 syllabus, downloadable Discrete Structure notes PDF, and related exam resources as we add them.
Note: Older batches may still see CSC 160 on past papers; the syllabus content is largely the same. CSC 165 is the current code under the revised grading system.
What you’ll learn
- Sets, functions, sequences, integers, and Boolean matrices
- Propositional logic, quantifiers, and proof methods
- Induction, recursion, counting, and discrete probability
- Relations, graphs, trees, spanning trees, and network flows
- Lab practice implementing discrete algorithms
