Teaching Discrete Mathematics to Computer Science Students [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics is an inevitable part of any undergraduate computer science degree programme. However, computer science students typically find this to be at best a necessary evil with which they struggle to engage. Twenty years ago, we started to address this issue seriously in our university, and we have instituted a number of innovations ...

A statistical analysis of the effect of discrete mathematics on the performance of computer science majors in beginning computing classes [PDF]
During the 1983-84 academic year, the University of Scranton instituted an experimental two semester discrete mathematics course for freshman students majoring in computer science. Approximately one-third of them were enrolled in this sequence while the remaining freshmen were enrolled in a traditional algebra-calculus mathematics sequence.

Discrete mathematics for computer science majors—where are we? How do we proceed? [PDF]
It has been nine years since Anthony Ralston and Mary Shaw called for a rethinking of the importance of sound mathematical training for undergraduate computer science majors [14]. In their paper they stressed the need to develop a two-year sequence in discrete mathematics for beginning computer science majors.
