Mathematics and computer science education have an intertwined history as proof undergirds both disciplines. This initial instrumental case study follows 16 different computational science students through a series of 8 linear algebra modules. Thematic analysis was used to highlight that when students learn mathematics through computation, opportunities for conjecture can be fostered alongside computational thinking.

The nebulous relationship between mathematics and computation in education has led to questions surrounding computational science students' experiences in mathematics courses. However, many of these conversations are framed in terms of students' misconceptions or their 'poor mathematical skills'. In contrast, I propose leveraging student's computational strengths as a pedagogical approach for creating relevant and engaging mathematics experiences. In order to build an understanding of the ways in which computation affects student's experience and understanding of mathematics, a framework designed to link student's computational experiences and attitudes by adding explicit linkage to these mathematical experiences was implemented. A series of Jupyter notebooks were developed which focused on introducing linear algebra through computing. This study followed computational science students as they worked through the modules in small groups across six weeks. They completed weekly reflections, and pre/post-study interviews. The theoretical framework was operationalized as an analytical framework to link student experience and attitudes. Results highlighted the shift in students' views of the nature of mathematics, their abilities, and the interplay between disciplines. The computational environment enabled students to naturally consider multiple solution paths, develop resilience, and enhanced their ability to explore mathematical concepts in a novel way. This was in contrast with students' initial views that framed mathematics as a set series of steps and formulas to follow. This study both provides a novel perspective in the discourse surrounding research on computational students' experiences in mathematics and highlights the pedagogical power of computing as a novel environment for learning mathematics.

Few would argue that modern careers across a wide range of disciplines can be performed in the absence of computing in one form or another. As such, it is becoming increasingly important for our education system to appropriately prepare students for the modern world by integrating computing and computational thinking into how students learn disciplinary content (i.e. disciplines outside of computer science). However, how to best perform this integration is not yet known, nor is there likely to be one ''best'' method. In this session, we will facilitate a discussion of the variety of ways in which post-secondary institutions are actively using computing to support disciplinary learning by highlighting examples while also considering mechanisms not yet explored. We invite anyone who wants to learn more about current efforts, share their own experiences, and contribute ideas for future endeavors. In an effort to maximize the diversity of perspectives in this discussion, we've included discussion leaders who span a variety of roles within curriculum development and classroom instruction and encourage participants from all levels and backgrounds.
