Frequently asked questions

Everything about Discrete Mathematics → Newlane.

📚 About Discrete Mathematics
How many semester hours does Discrete Mathematics carry?
4. That is its NCCRS credit recommendation, in the lower division baccalaureate/associate degree category or in the upper division baccalaureate degree category.
What kind of credit is Discrete Mathematics?
Calculus or Mathematics credit, in the words of its NCCRS recommendation. At Newlane, it counts toward Quantitative Literacy GE.
How much study time does Discrete Mathematics take?
Its syllabus counts 46 instructional hours across 13 chapters. There is no minimum or maximum time: you work at your own pace.
What if I fail a Discrete Mathematics quiz?
Take it again: quizzes can be retaken as many times as you want, and the average of your first two attempts is the score that counts.
What will I learn in Discrete Mathematics?
Six areas, as its syllabus sets them out: Logic and proof; Sets, functions and sequences; Counting and discrete probability; Recurrence relations; Graph theory and trees; Matrices and Boolean algebra.
What is chapter 13 of Discrete Mathematics about?
“Boolean Algebra and Logic Circuits”. The syllabus gives it 3 hours, after “Matrices and Transformations”.
What does Discrete Mathematics teach in chapter 5?
Chapter 5 is “Counting Methods and Basic Probability” (3.5 hours in the syllabus); the next chapter is “Discrete Probability: Random Variables and Expected Value”.
Which textbook does Discrete Mathematics use?
The syllabus lists Rachel Zax and Harry Lewis. Essential Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science, Princeton University Press, 2019; it also lists other references as optional reading.
🎯 About Quantitative Literacy GE at Newlane
Does Discrete Mathematics count as general education at Newlane?
Yes: Quantitative Literacy GE. UPI Study's agreement with Newlane University lists UPI Study's Discrete Mathematics there. The credit posts to your Newlane transcript once UPI Study sends the official transcript.
What else counts toward Quantitative Literacy GE at Newlane?
Financial Management, Managerial Accounting, Data Structure and Algorithms, Introduction to HTML and CSS, Introduction to Java, Introduction to Javascript, Programming in C, Programming in C++, Programming in Python and Business Math, among others also count toward Quantitative Literacy GE.
How many credits does Discrete Mathematics bring to Newlane?
3 credits at Newlane: Newlane's Quantitative Literacy GE carries 3, while your UPI Study transcript shows 4 for Discrete Mathematics. NCCRS recommends 4 semester hours for it, in the lower division baccalaureate/associate degree category or in the upper division baccalaureate degree category; its syllabus counts 46 instructional hours.
Can Discrete Mathematics count as an elective at Newlane instead?
Usually, if your Quantitative Literacy GE credits are already full: Newlane decides, within its transfer limit. Ask Newlane's registrar before you enroll if you are close to the cap.
🔄 About transferring to Newlane
Where is Newlane University based?
In Lehi, Utah. Discrete Mathematics is online, so you can take it from anywhere before you transfer it.
What does Discrete Mathematics cost at UPI Study compared with Newlane?
Newlane charges $1,500 per degree, paid at $39 a month, however many credits you transfer in, while UPI Study's Discrete Mathematics is $250 one-time or part of the $89/month plan. Newlane decides how the credit counts.
What grade does Newlane need in Discrete Mathematics?
Newlane asks for a C- or higher. A UPI Study pass is 70 or more, and the grading scale on your transcript shows the letter grade.
I'm already a Newlane student. Can I still use Discrete Mathematics?
Yes. Taking it alongside your Newlane degree is fine; check with your Newlane advisor that Quantitative Literacy GE still fits your plan before you start.
About this course

Understanding Discrete Mathematics for your Newlane credit.

What is Discrete Mathematics?

Discrete Mathematics is the study of math built from distinct, countable pieces rather than continuous quantities. It focuses on topics such as logic, sets, counting, probability, sequences, and proof methods, which are widely used in computer science, engineering, and other fields that depend on precise reasoning.

How the course teaches you

Discrete Mathematics (Maths 230) is a 4-credit course with a 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam grading structure. It is built around discrete topics such as logic, sets, counting, probability, sequences, and proof methods, so students work through the material in a structured way and then document that learning on the transcript. When that transcript is sent to Newlane University, Newlane recognizes the course as Quantitative Literacy GE.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course develops the kind of precise reasoning used in computer science, engineering, and other fields that depend on clear analysis. At Newlane, that credit counts as Quantitative Literacy GE, so it can help satisfy a general-education requirement in degree plans such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. That can keep attention on upper-level coursework instead of repeating material already completed.

Skills you walk away with

Construct logical proofs and identify fallaciesUse truth tables and logical connectors correctlyWork with sets, functions, and relationsApply counting methods, permutations, and combinationsUse induction, recursion, and generating functionsSolve discrete probability and expected value problemsApply Boolean algebra and graph-theory concepts

Taking this course toward Newlane

After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for review and Newlane's registrar applies the transfer as Quantitative Literacy GE when the course matches the partner evaluation. At Newlane, that means the course satisfies a gen-ed requirement rather than sitting as an elective with no clear place in the plan. Because Newlane allows up to 90 transfer credits and up to 75% of degree credit from transfer, this course can fit into the overall degree structure without exceeding the ceiling. In programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, that can reduce the number of Newlane courses you still need to complete.

Who this course is for

This is a practical choice for students who want to move coursework into a Newlane degree while staying within Newlane's transfer rules, including the limit of up to 90 credits or 75% of the degree. It is especially relevant for students who need a general-education math-style requirement that Newlane accepts as Quantitative Literacy GE. It is less useful for someone who does not need transfer credit or who is not planning to complete a Newlane program.
