The Conference/Workshop of which these are the proceedings was held
frcm 28 June to 1 July, 1982 at Williams College, Williamstown, MA.
The meeting was funded in its entirety by the Alfred P. Sloan
Foundation. The conference program and the list of participants
follow this introduction. The purpose of the conference was to
discuss the re-structuring of the first two years of college
mathematics to provide some balance between the traditional
ca1cu1us linear algebra sequence and discrete mathematics. The
remainder of this volume contains arguments both for and against
such a change and some ideas as to what a new curriculum might look
like. A too brief summary of the deliberations at Williams is that,
while there were - and are - inevitable differences of opinion on
details and nuance, at least the attendees at this conference had
no doubt that change in the lower division mathematics curriculum
is desirable and is coming."
