Discrete Math: The Graphic Novel:

  • Is fun to read.
  • Features content sections that serve as short, easy to read overviews of many standard topics. Students can read the appropriate section of the graphic novel, then read, in more depth, the material in the textbook.
  • Can be flexibly sequenced without interrupting the story continuity. This allows instructors to easily use the graphic novel with any standard Discrete Mathematics textbook.
  • Is a useful part of an exam review. Repeatedly rereading a textbook does not aid learning. The graphic novel provides a quick reminder of the topics. The student can then look at some key sections of the main textbook to deepen that review.
  • Provides more opportunity to explore some common errors in student thinking.
  • Integrates a story thread that models the kinds of questions that a successful student would ask.
  • Offers a number of interesting puzzles, purely for engaging the reader’s interest.
  • Presents many helpful research-based study tips.
