Intro Math What were the first modern Discrete Mathematics and Precalculus texts?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying the first textbooks that introduced "precalculus" and "discrete mathematics" in their titles or subtitles, focusing on their impact on education. Participants speculate that these textbooks emerged during the late 1950s and 1960s, a time of significant experimentation in science education in the U.S., often supported by organizations like the NSF. The earliest references found include discrete mathematics texts from the early 1960s and precalculus texts from the early 1980s, with prior courses often labeled as mathematical analysis. The conversation emphasizes the importance of these textbooks in shaping modern curricula and their long-term influence on mathematics education, although specific titles and personal experiences with these books are also shared.

What was the first textbook for the modern syllabus of discrete mathematics which had "discrete," "discrete mathematics" in the title or subtitle?

If you have personal experience with one of the books that gets mentioned, what are your opinions of it? How do you feel about its direct influence on students and educators, and possibly about its long term influence on mathematics education?

I've been wondering about the circumstances of the origins of these book+course trends. I don't fully trust the timelines of the search results I've gotten so far, and I want to see more personal opinions than I've found so far.

I am guessing that they were developed in the late fifties and sixties which were a period of experimentation in science education in the US. You might try looking for the organizations that were doing the work. The NSF funded a lot of the work, so you might look into their history.
 
The earliest I could find were the early sixties for discrete math and the early eighties for precalculus. I think before then precqlc it was called (mathematical) analysis, e.g. Dolciani's eponymous text
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
