A chapter in The Future of College Mathematics, 1983, pp 243-248 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The authors considered the problem of writing a curriculum for the first two years of college mathematics that would consist of a year of calculus and a year of discrete mathematics. They imposed the further constraint that it should be possible to take either year alone, and therefore to take both in either order. It was recognized that this constraint exacts certain costs, such as some need for repetition and fewer opportunities for cross-references; but it was intended that the additional flexibility should provide for the needs of a wide variety of undergraduate students, with the understanding that in many cases (e.g. for students concentrating in mathematics, computer science, engineering, or certain physical sciences) additional courses would be needed.
