                 course have changed recently due to an influx of
                 non-computer science students with little or no
                 programming experience. Programming problems are now
                 assigned in a simple to learn, easy to write,
                 mathematical-like functional programming language that
                 requires no previous programming experience. In theory,
                 all students begin on the same basis. Exposure to the
                 concepts of functional programming is an essential part
                 of computer science and mathematics curricula. For most
                 students this is the only exposure to functional
                 programming. Functional programming and discrete
                 mathematics are a natural combination. One week of
                 lectures and perhaps a small monetary investment is all
                 that is required. An instructor totally unfamiliar with
                 functional programming can easily learn enough in a
                 week or so to present a simple introduction to the
                 topic. Introducing functional programming concepts in
                 discrete mathematics was very successful. Students
                 found the exposure to functional programming to be an
                 insight they had never experienced before and
                 enthusiastically recommended an introduction to
                 functional programming be a permanent part of the
                 course.",
