Making discrete mathematics relevant
Anja Remshagen · 2010
Discrete mathematics is an important foundation of computer science. Especially during the last decade, resources for instructors have been designed to meet the needs in computer science education. These resources try to present relevant concepts in an engaging way. But the students do not necessarily recognize how discrete mathematics applies to their profession. This paper presents exercises and problems that relate directly to the material a computer science student encounters during his or her studies, so students are more motivated to delve into discrete mathematics.
