Mathematics And Computer Science Degrees

Detailed profiles of schools for Mathematics And Computer Science from the EdRef college search portal.

Mathematics and Computer Science programs combine a computing focus with mathematics content. A typical combination would be systems building and software engineering complemented by applied numerical methods and discrete mathematics. Students develop a strong foundation in mathematics as well as its application to real-world problems. They also learn to understand computer systems in order to design and build them. The specific skills students learn include logical analysis, deduction, and mathematic modeling.

Students in these programs learn how to design and implement systems using appropriate technology to solve design problems. They apply the knowledge learned in courses to solve original problems. They focus on mastering the analysis and interpretation of data. They also learn to apply knowledge of mathematics and computers to solve problems in other fields, working cooperatively in teams with students from other disciplines. They learn communication skills, both oral and written, and they learn to interpret written material in the field of mathematics and computer science.
