Mathematics of Computer Science

Why study the mathematics of computer science at Geneseo?

This minor uses math as a framework for understanding computing. It provides students with powerful intellectual tools for solving challenging problems and skills to transform those solutions into practical computer programs. Students will use mathematics to model and understand problems and solutions, and use computing to put solutions into practice. 

The program positions students to investigate and apply computational methods in their chosen field of study. It is particularly suitable for those who want to work at the boundary of mathematics and computing or for those pursuing graduate studies in computer or computational science.
