BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE

Abstract

Mainly the joining together of Mathematics and Computer Science knowledge has developed modem technology. It is therefore important that the users and beneficiaries of that technology have a solid knowledge of both components, mathematics and computer science. This knowledge will help them to better appreciate the technology at hand and, more importantly, to use it much more efficiently. Our students of mathematics and computer science will certainly be important users of this technology. Our programme aims to equip them with a strong base, which should enable them not only to appreciate and use the technology more efficiently but also to eventually improve it.

The programme of study leads to the academic degree of Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science (BSc). The programme offers four options of concentration: two in Mathematics (Applied Mathematics and Statistics) and two in Computer Science (Software Engineering and Computer Networking). The specific objectives of the programme are to produce a graduate who will:

• Work comfortably in a computerized mathematical environment

Be adequately prepared for post-graduate study in either Mathematics or Computer Science. Option courses in the third and the fourth year are intended to help reach this objective.
