Palm Beach Atlantic University

Mathematics and Computer Science

The areas of computer science and mathematics are related to one another in many ways. The foundation of computer science has its roots in mathematics, and discrete mathematics is an important tool in understanding structures and systems in computer science. While, inventions and advances in computer science have generated new frontiers for research in mathematics. A fundamental area in computer science, such as computability, is a part of mathematics, and vice versa. Palm Beach Atlantic University offers the dual major of Mathematics and Computer Science, which allows you to further explore this scientific relationship.
