Welcome to the Department of Math and Computer Science
The mission of the Department of Mathematical Sciences is to provide
students with an understanding and an appreciation of mathematics and
the related areas of computer science, engineering, physics, and astronomy.
To this end the Department: (a) provides students throughout the University
with training in thinking analytically through problem-solving activities
and in communicating effectively using graphical and numeric symbols;
(b) provides instruction for the first two years of the USC engineering
program; (c) provides the mathematical background for pre-service and
continuing elementary school teachers and secondary school mathematics
teachers; (d) provides Mathematics/Computer Science and Industrial Mathematics
majors with background for graduate studies or preparation for careers
in the mathematical sciences.
In addition, the Department seeks to foster the study, learning and appreciation of the mathematical sciences among pre-college students through outreach activities.
