Abstract
In 1979, Ralston was investigating curricula for discrete mathematics [95] and Shaw was participating in evaluations of Curriculum 78 and the role of mathematics in undergraduate computer science. They combined their notes to form a criticism of the mathematical content of Curriculum ’78 that appeared in Communications of the ACM [94]. Some comments on the paper appeared a few months later [69]
