Abstract

The ACM curriculum defines Discrete Structures as foundational material for computer science; material that the ability to work with is necessary for many other areas of computer science. However a significant amount of uncertainty remains on how exactly to teach the subject to computer science undergraduates in a tangible way. This technical report presents a systematic literature review of the literature relevant to the teaching of discrete structures and evaluates the findings of the process. A categorisation of the results is described followed by an analysis of each category.
