Overview
Mathematics for Computer Science teaches the underpinning mathematical techniques of computer science. The module provides the modelling principles required for modules in algorithms, artificial intelligence, data science, software engineering, and cybersecurity. Mathematics is key to understanding many computational phenomena, and thus fundamental to many careers in computer science. Mathematics for Computer Science teaches the core mathematics of computer science, including set theory, logic (propositional and predicate), number theory, graph theory, and proof. The module details how to these mathematical techniques are used within computing, providing contextual examples and exercises to support student learning, and understanding.
The aim of Mathematics for Computer Science is to develop students' fluency in computing mathematics. The module will require students to solve mathematical problems as well as represent computational phenomena using mathematical techniques. Mathematics for Computer Science forms one of the three computing views delivered in Semester 1 of Computer Science, alongside Software Development 1 (software view) and Computer Systems (machine or hardware view).
