Discrete Mathematics (Math 330): The texbook we use is the 2015 edition of Mathematics for Computer Science by Eric Leighton, F. Thompson Leighton, and Albert R. Meyer. It is published under a Creative Commons License, and other editions are available through MIT OpenCourseware.
Research: I research mathematical modeling scenarios using differential equations, in particular how to use these scenarios in teaching. Most of my work is a mixture of mathematical calculations and programming work on a computer to get numerical results. Some recent publications:
Mastery-Based Testing to Promote Learning: Experiences with Discrete Mathematics. (PRIMUS)
Using the United States Census Data to Introduce Differential equations. (PRIMUS)
Ballistics Modeling with a Sponge Dart (SIMIODE)
United States Census Modeling (SIMIODE)
Here's some information about some of my research geared toward undergraduates: http://www.jeanmarielinhart.info/introduction-to-my-research-for-undergraduates/
Mathematical Competition in Modeling: I have acted as advisor for CWU's Mathematical Competition in Modeling team from 2018-2020. We have had outstanding results! If you are interested in forming a team or being on a team, please send me an email!
