Abstract

To most average students, Discrete Mathematics is considered quietly a tough and difficult subject to learn. Moreover, with lots of formulas, concepts and definition to understand from the ordinary thick textbooks, students will tend to avoid taking Discrete Mathematics if they are given choice. Currently, with the massive and impressive technology development in information and communication technology, Discrete Mathematics will be no longer a boring and troublesome subject. iBook Author, a free app from Mac Apple store is one of the possible tool that can be used to change the current textbook. iBook can integrate all sorts of multimedia elements such as text, sound, image, video and animation to create a new interactive textbook that is more engaging. Students can flip through iBook by simply sliding a finger on the iPad screen. Two subtopics in Discrete Mathematics which have been considered as difficulty by majority students have been chosen as subjects’ matters in order to develop the iBook.
