数学/计算机科学理学学士

数学是对模式，结构和变化的研究。尽管它是最古老的学科之一，但每天都在创造新的数学。从互联网安全到绿色能源技术，再到华尔街投资策略，都可以找到它。计算机科学是围绕对设计和分析技术的研究而组织的，该技术用于在各种应用程序领域中编写软件或程序，以及有关计算机内部工作原理（称为计算机体系结构和操作系统）的详细信息。西方的数学/计算机科学计划为研究生学习或计算机技术，科学和数学应用的职业生涯提供了出色的准备。学生能够将他们的知识和专长应用于开发基于计算机的复杂数学问题的解决方案，包括环境和生态建模，科学和工程计算以
Computer Science at Western is organized around the study of design and analysis techniques used to write software or programs in various application areas, along with details about the internal workings of computers (known as computer architecture and operating systems).<br><br>As a practical matter, Mathematics is a science of pattern and order. Its domain is not molecules or cells, but numbers, chance, form, algorithms, and change. As a science of abstract objects, Mathematics relies on logic rather than on observation as its standard of truth, yet employs observation, simulation, and even experimentation as means of discovering truth. From: Everybody Counts: A Report to the Nation on the Future of Mathematics Education (c) 1989 National Academy of Sciences.<br><br>The Mathematics/Computer Science BS Program provides excellent preparation for graduate study or for careers in the technical, scientific and mathematical application of computers. Graduates are able to apply their knowledge and expertise in the development of computer-based solutions of complicated mathematical problems, including environmental and ecological modeling, scientific and engineering calculations, and statistical analysis.
