| Title of Talk | Five Types of Discrete Mathematics Problems that Should Be Part of Every College Student’s Quantitative Literacy Expectations |
| Abstract | Quantitative literacy requirements (aka general education math requirements) should include some discrete mathematics, in addition to the most commonly included areas–algebra, statistics, and probability. In particular, in this talk I propose that all college students should have some understanding of five discrete mathematics problem types – enumeration, sequential change, networks, fair decision making, and information processing. This proposal has implications for developmental math courses as well as quantitative literacy and math for liberal arts courses. I will present some elaboration and examples. |
