Workshop came to consistent conclusions
Importance of Discrete Mathematics in the First Two Years
Clear need for substantive coverage of discrete mathematics for computer science as a client
discipline (Computing Curricula 2001, CUPM Draft Report, CRAFTY Draft
Vision Statement)
Need for a year sequence in discrete mathematics -- likely in the first two
years (CUPM Draft Report, Pedagogy Focus Group 2 Draft Report, LACS Meeting
in Summer 2002 and subsequent discussions)
