Abstract
Discrete mathematics have become more important in undergraduate mathematics curriculum. Concepts like graphs and trees are now familiar to computer programmers, biologists, as well as marketing researchers. Using graph drawing programs in lecturing and laboratory can enhance the learning of discrete mathematics by college students who are not strong in abstract reasoning.
This is the report of my experience of using LINK, a WINDOW 95/NT executable program, for introductory level graph theory.
