Some Highlights of the Programs
Applied Mathematics:
- A strong background in mathematics with emphasis on Operations Research, Statistics, and Numerical Methods.
- Industry standard software including Matlab, MathCAD and Mathematica
- Fully integrated smartrooms for instruction
- Great flexibility in the program to receive a strong technical background and have the ability to pursue minors (in Arabic for example) or double majors (recent double majors in History, Physics, Civil Engineering and Modern Languages).
- Most of our graduates go into the Military or Industry with some pursuing teaching (having a math degree doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily become a teacher!)
- Senior capstone projects (recently in the study of Barcodes, Laser Pulse modeling, and Protein Structure Prediction algorithms)
Computer Science:
- Nationally accredited by ABET
- Industry standard software in Java and C/C++
- Training in programming, systems analysis, computer forensics, and human-computer interaction.
- State-of-the-art labs
o Computer Forensics
o Human-computer interaction - with eye-tracking software for software development.
o UNIX labs
o Parallel-Processing lab – based on an eight-node Playstation3 cluster
o Mobile Computing – iMac lab with iPhone\iPod Touch development software
Degrees available in Mathematics & Computer Science:
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science is located on the 4th floor of Mallory Hall. The department offers B.S. and B.A. degrees in mathematics, a B.S. in computer science, and minors in each field.
