摘要
Mathematics and computer science can be difficult subjects for the communications teacher to penetrate. In 1997, the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo initiated the development of a pilot course in communications for Mathematics and Computer Science students. This paper explores the research and discoveries that built a successful course: a definition of "numeracy" that equates with academic "literacy" as knowledge creation; perceiving the students as "end users" and doing ongoing "usability tests" during the pilot course, and using case studies as social action to empower students and envision math and technology as dynamic, serially rich fields through communications.
