The table below shows just one of many possible ways
of satisfying degree requirements. However, course scheduling and degree
requirements change periodically. Thus, students enrolled in this degree
program should expect to modify this table in consultation with their
faculty advisor.

Undergraduate
Programs in Mathematics and Statistics including
syllabi
An Overview
The Computing Concentration is a degree program in
mathematics that highlights mathematical topics directly related to
computer science and software aspects of computer science (as opposed
to hardware
or engineering). This program offers a good basis for a master's degree
in computer science or mathematics. It is especially appropriate for
students who wish to develop strong credentials for computer-related
employment following graduation.
Graduates
of the Computing Concentration should have an expanded number of options
and be more adaptable over
the span of their careers. Why?
First, the Computing Concentration stresses fundamentals of
computing and information processing, and their mathematical framework
(rather
than a particular programming language, a certain line of equipment,
or even the present state of technology -- all of which are subject
to rapid obsolescence). Second, virtually every industry of sufficient
size
employs mathematicians in research, design, and development, while
the sophisticated use of computers is increasingly common even
in small organizations;
thus, persons trained in both computing and mathematics should
be especially attractive to employers.
This
program features core courses
in mathematics
(e.g., calculus, linear algebra, discrete mathematics) as well
as basic programming and
data structure courses in computer science. Advanced electives
in mathematics and in computer science with a generous allotment
of
free electives
creates a program of study well suited to students' individual
preferences. |
