Hi Roberto -- What I meant was, 'Mathematics for the Digital Age...' (which you already know about) is an excellent textbook, and I mentioned it in that thread. I wonder if you were thinking a meant some *other* book. Quoting from the thread I linked to: """ Clearly, at one end of the spectrum we have books like 'Mathematics for the Digital Age and Programming in Python' (used at Phillips / Andover, a college prep high school, by the authors). At the other end of the spectrum we have textbooks showing little-to-no-awareness of the doors one could be opening in high school, to the prospective CS major. We can score them accordingly, and what I'm looking for is criteria. A high school math course should open as many doors as practical and being CS-friendly in this day and age is an important criterion. I'm telling parents what they can look for, even if teachers don't seem to care. Look for examples of functions that are non-numeric in nature.
