Learn Discrete Mathematics and Computer Science via Primary Historical Sources

  • This is certainly an interesting approach, but does anybody have any firsthand experience with learning a technical discipline from primary historical sources? While I do enjoy reading the original papers for many mathematical ideas, it seems like if it were done in a course, it would be very slow-going and leave much of the material—especially in a huge subject like Discrete Math—uncovered.

  • this is great - especially the history of truth PDF which is linked to within the article. thanks a lot.
