Abstract

Do you recall the first time you taught a discrete mathematics course, if ever? What were your goals for the course? Your thought processes preparing? How did you prepare to teach it the first time? As educators, there is always that first time teaching a new course. To capture this scenario I have enlisted the services of two professors at the United States Military Academy at West Point, Rachelle DeCoste and Kevin L. Huggins, who will each be teaching, for the first time, a section of discrete mathematics for cadets majoring in computer science. This is the first of two columns they will be contributing - before and after.
