Teaching Reform and Practice Based on the Course of “Discrete Mathematics”
Based on the course of Discrete Mathematics, this paper studies the teaching improvement practice of cultivating computational thinking in the computer major. The specific implementation plan and methods are based on the construction of the "Theoretical Teaching System of Discrete Mathematics" and the "Experimental Teaching System of MAPLE Software". Through in - depth analysis of the teaching key points, difficulties, and characteristics of this course, while requiring students to master theoretical knowledge, practical teaching is also carried out, including computer - based practice, in - class tests, and after - class assignments. Innovative teaching concepts and heuristic teaching concepts are adopted to let the sense of innovation and active thinking germinate in the process of subtle influence, learning, and practice.
