More Areas of Widespread Agreement
Topics Desired in the Discrete Mathematics Sequence (at least for CS)
Topics from Pedagogy Focus Group 2
Course notes:
NOT remedial in level or scope
Need to emphasize proofs and proof techniques
Need to integrate theory and applications
Consistent with Curriculum Foundations Project Report for Computer Science
Largely consistent with LACS discussions
Watered down somewhat in Computing Curricula 2001, but same general approach
Need for Computer Science Students to Take an Additional Semester of Math
Mathematical maturity needed beyond 2 semesters
Subject of third semester depends on student interests/demands of later computer science courses:
students interested in graphics might take linear algebra
students interested in operating systems might take probability and statistics
students interested in simulation might take calculus
students interested in applications might take mathematical modeling
