The computer has become this century’s version of the wheel; a piece of technology so ubiquitous and essential that nearly every other consequential human endeavor relies upon its effective use. Computer scientists turn this miraculous machine’s potential into power. Beginning with a study of the design and development of automated computation and information processing systems, they incorporate theoretical mathematics, logic, and engineering to improve hardware and software, conceive new applications, explore artificial intelligence, and push the boundaries of automation.
Business software developers use science to give business structure and sense, enable their partners to manage databases, streamline network support, enable mobile device programming, and revolutionize data storage.

Each Spring, the faculty in Mathematics and Computer Science will provide students with an overview of the research they are working on. This will provide students with the opportunity gain critical exposure to research ideas early on in their academic careers. Each week a different faculty member will host the meeting to allow students to ask questions and to learn what is current in the field of math and computer science. Meetings will be hosted virtually, via Zoom.
