This open textbook is intended to provide concise and complete instructions on how to use Sage to solve problems in Discrete Math. It is appropriate for a first or second year undergraduate course for math and computer science majors. Our goal is to streamline the learning process with SageMath. This approach helps students focus more on mathematics and reduces the friction of learning how to code. Our resources are designed for all math students, regardless of programming experience.
The novelty of our project is that the textbook is authored by students under faculty supervision. With Open Pedagogy as a guiding praxis, we present this student-created textbook as a more effective alternative in promoting student learning and engagement. Students present the contents in new and inventive ways, from the overall voice of the textbook to the actual examples drawn from their and their peers' lives.
