Mathematics for undergraduate computer scientists

Posted

The mathematical requirements for an undergraduate program in Computer Science are a subject of debate. The Association for Computing Machinery's Curriculum Committee, however, believes that these requirements are essentially the same as the mathematical content of physical sciences undergraduate programs. The Committee believes that these requirements should assure the student of a broad mathematical background and should enable him to take a wide variety of courses in other scientific disciplines. The Committee's concern is to develop a solid scientific approach to Computer Science.
