Our work is part of a thesis which deals with the teaching practices of university mathematics professors. Practices of university professors concur specificities: an example is the articulation between teaching and research. We seek to characterize the research impact in the teaching practices at university. We choose discrete mathematics as an object of study. It is an area whose didactic transposition is not fully achieved while the links with other mathematical fields remain undefined. These elements make the choice of resources to be mobilized and conceived quite complex. Our exploratory study draws on interviews with university professors aiming to characterize the interaction with resources; which can help us clarify the research activities impact on teaching practices in the case of discrete mathematics.
