What are my choices for the Discrete Mathematics requirement for the BA- and BS-Teaching Option degrees?
The course required to satisfy this requirement is M325K: Discrete Mathematics. What is this course about? How will it help prepare me to be a secondary mathematics teacher? This course can be thought of as an introduction to the language and culture of mathematics. As such, it is a useful course for a mathematics teacher, and for multiple reasons. Much difficulty with mathematics arises because arguments and usages that are fine in everyday language, are “wrong” in mathematical language. On the other hand, throughout its history, the power of mathematics has been entwined with precisely this difficulty. Its precision as a language, and the absoluteness of its statements are often what make mathematics seem hard. All of this comes under the heading of rigor, and rigor is a key concern of this course. A central part of the rigor of modern mathematics involves its insistence on proofs. To a large extent, this course is an introduction to proofs and the writing of proofs. Some of the ti
