Abstract

Recent curricula recommendations by the ACM/IEEE Curriculum 2001 [3] have focused new attention to the role of mathematics in computer science programs. The challenge presented to small colleges is to address these recommendations while working with the limited resources typical of our institutions. In this paper we describe recent efforts to update our mathematics requirements for our computer science major and the ripple effect that lead to changes both in our discrete mathematics course offerings and in the course requirements for our mathematical and computational degree programs.
