question arises: 2 What is the probability of returning to zero? The answer was given by Georg P´lya [9] in 1921: o Theorem 1. With probability one, the random walker will return to zero in a finite number of steps. Let us show how to prove P´lya’s theorem. For n = 0, 1, 2, 3, . . . let un = o the probability that the random walker is at 0 after n steps. We make two Figure 1: Georg o simple observations: u0 = 1 (because the walker starts at 0) and un = 0 if P´lya n = 1, 3, 5, 7, .

research report will elaborate on the inequalities of the world and how it ties to poverty, using the theme of discrimination, based on race, caste and gender.

their properties, and relationships among them among others. Why Discrete Mathematics ? Let us first see why we want to be interested in the formal/theoretical approaches in computer science. Some of the major reasons that we adopt formal approaches are 1) we can handle infinity or large quantity and indefiniteness with them, and 2) results from formal approaches are reusable. As an example, let us consider a simple problem of investment. Suppose that we invest $1,000 every year with expected
