abstract = "The course described in this paper is intended for
students who are not majoring in computer science or
mathematics. In a typical semester students majoring in
such diverse fields as dietetics, sociology,
psychology, elementary education, accounting,
broadcasting, physical education, music, industrial
technology, English, business administration, chemistry
and secretarial science are enrolled in the course.
Virtually the only common element in the background of
the students enrolled in the course is their lack of a
previous university course in either mathematics or
computer science. The highest level of mathematical
education that may be expected is first year high
school algebra; occasionally even that expectation is
too high.$^4$ For students with this background many of
the available textbooks are not satisfactory. This
paper will attempt to further clarify the nature of the
course by stating its objectives, by discussing the
choice of a language for the course, by discussing what
topics normally included in available textbooks are not
desirable, and finally by suggesting topics which are
desirable in an introductory course for non majors.",
