MTE 509 - Discrete Mathematics in the Secondary Grades

Credits 3
Topics in Discrete Mathematics, including combinatorics, logic and set theory, algorithms, linear algebra, relations and functions, elements of number theory, and chaos/fractals. The focus will be on the connections and deep structural themes unifying these areas, and on using discrete math to gain a deeper understanding of middle school and high-school algebra and calculus. Concepts are aligned with the middle and high school mathematics standards of the Massachusetts curriculum frameworks.
