Briefly: logic, set theory, functions, relations, induction and recursion, combinatorics, modular artihmetics, permutation groups and symmetric groups

In more detail:

  1. Set theory and logic: basic concepts and operations in set theory and logic, proof techniques and logical inference, induction and recursion

  2. Relations and functions, equivalence relation, bijection, cardinality

  3. Combinatorics: basic concepts, multiplication principle, inclusion-exclusion principle and pigeonhole principle

  4. Number theory: congruences, modular arithmetics

  5. Permutations and group theory: permutation as combination of transpositions, sign of a permutation, permutation groups and symmetry groups.
