Math Foundations in CS 1 & 2 for Less Selective Institutions

计算机科学（31）通过开发将基础数学概念与计算机科学课程相结合的模块，我们将为学生提供在计算机科学成功所需的数学方面的积极发展。我们正在开发模块，学生可以按照自己的节奏异步学习；这些模块直接将数学与计算机科学问题联系起来。这些模块只涉及高中代数，但将使学生达到成功所需的成熟度和知识水平。我们正在将美国数学协会报告《数学的十字路口》中的教学材料从报告中设想的课堂环境中改编为我们的在线异步方法；课程材料来自两个完善的来源：Gries和Math-Thinking Group，他们开发了一种以数学为基础的计算机科学教育方法，以及Aho和Ullman的文本，该文本强调计算机科学概念的数学建模。本项目采用这些方法中使用的数学材料，并将其与早期计算机科学课程的内容联系起来。

Computer Science (31)By developing modules which integrate foundational mathematical concepts with computer science coursework, we will provide students with motivated development in the mathematics required for success in computer science. We are developing modules which students work with asynchronously at their pace; these modules directly tie mathematics to computer science problems. The modules assume only high school algebra, but will bring students to the maturity and knowledge level that they require in order to succeed. We are adapting peadagogical materials from "Crossroads in Mathematics" a report by the American Mathematics Association from the classroom environment envisioned in the report to our online, asynchronous approach; and curricular materials from two well-established sources: Gries and the Math-Thinking Group who have developed a heavily mathematics-based approach to computer science education and a text by Aho and Ullman, which emphasizes the mathematical modelling of computer science concepts. This project takes the mathematical material used in these approaches and ties it to the content of early computer science courses.
