  abstract =     "The challenge of a computer literacy course is to
                 present general principles of computer science, while
                 at the same time engaging students who are nonmajors
                 and demonstrating the relevance of the subject. In this
                 paper we describe our experience with a course that
                 uses the Internet as a motivating theme to introduce
                 students to fundamental concepts of computer science.
                 The students found the course interesting and were
                 visibly stimulated by the material. In comparison with
                 previous semesters, the students left the course with
                 more practical skills as well as a greater appreciation
                 of the interrelations between mathematics and computer
                 science.",
