Reflections on teaching discrete math for the first time

ABSTRACT

You may recall that the guest authors for the last Math CountS column were Rachelle DeCoste and Kevin L. Huggins, United States Military Academy at West Point. Rachelle and Kevin were each teaching, for the first time, a section of discrete mathematics for cadets majoring in computer science. Their contribution, "Teaching Discrete Math for the First Time" described their thoughts and methods of preparing to teach this course for the Fall 2006 team. That was to be the first of two columns they will be contributing --- before and after. Well, the "after" column was a bit longer than anticipated, so they have submitted it as a regular SIGCSE inroads paper entitled "Reflections on Teaching Discrete Math for the First Time". Please look for it in this issue, and I hope you will take some time to read the article. You will find it very interesting and informative.
