Nifty examples in discrete mathematics: tutorial presentation
William Marion, Peter B. Henderson · Journal of computing sciences in colleges · 2004
Good examples are powerful tools for enhancing student understanding of the important connections between the mathematics introduced in discrete math courses and fundamental ideas in computer science. The presenters will illustrate a number of nifty examples they have used effectively to supplement material found in typical discrete math texts, or to present a topic in a novel way. Participants in small groups will work through some of these examples and discuss what they have learned. In addition, participants will submit one or two examples they have used and will work to further improve and refine some of these examples. All materials presented, collected and developed will be posted on a web page to share with the computer science and mathematics education communities.
