CDM: Teaching Discrete Mathematics to Computer Science Majors
Sutner, Klaus
Journal on Educational Resources in Computing, v5 n2 Article 4 Jun 2005
CDM, for computational discrete mathematics, is a course that attempts to teach a number of topics in discrete mathematics to computer science majors. The course abandons the classical definition-theorem-proof model, and instead relies heavily on computation as a source of motivation and also for experimentation and illustration. The emphasis on computational issues is particularly attractive to computer science majors and increases their involvement and participation.
