katilac Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 x-post I can't find the thread - if dd combines these two books, what should I call the class? oops, should have put on high school board, I'll x-post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutella08 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Discrete Mathematics? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quark Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I currently have it listed in two different transcript versions (I am toying with two different templates atm) as Special Math Topics, and Num. Theory and Count. & Prob. respectively. Abbreviated due to lack of space for the latter. The course description will explain more, and will be especially useful for Special Math Topics. I don't want to call it Discrete Mathematics because DS might take a course called Discrete Mathematics at CC/uni and I don't want to confuse the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I'd call it Discrete Math unless they took a course with that name elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Are you referring to the intro or intermediate C&P book? The intro C&P book is what I use to satisfy California's algebra 1. I don't want to call it Discrete Mathematics because DS might take a course called Discrete Mathematics at CC/uni and I don't want to confuse the two. Same here. I am thinking of calling it Introduction to Discrete Math for the Intermediate C&P book if I am going to put it in the transcript at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teachin'Mine Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I would just list them separately as AoPS Counting & Probability and AoPS Number Theory with the appropriate credit allotment for each. Maybe each is 1/2 credit? Simpler than having to change the name if you put them together and follow up with Discrete Math or Statistics, or whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 My son did the AOPS Intro to Counting & Probability along with a variety of other resources (a brief intro to statistics, some books on cryptography, etc.) for a course we called Topics in Discrete Mathematics. I opted for the "topics" label, rather than straight up Discrete Mathematics, because we really did a pretty high-level survey of just stuff I thought would interest him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katilac Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 I think Discrete Math is the one I was remembering from the other thread. I'm kind of liking Special Topics in Math. She won't be taking DE math next year, so that's not a worry, but we will need to have some kind of name for her intended senior year classes as she submits applications beginning in the summer. thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh, cryptography, she'd probably enjoy adding a bit of that, she loved that stuff when she was younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Ooh, cryptography, she'd probably enjoy adding a bit of that, she loved that stuff when she was younger. Yes, my son loved that part. His final project for the course involved writing a booklet describing various ciphers and then creating an original one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
