Computational Mathematics

About

Learn to solve problems with computers than can’t be deciphered by humans alone.

Harness the power of computers to generate and run mathematical models. Then take the data to understand trends and find industrial-sized solutions.

You’ll dig deep into the intersection of advanced mathematics, statistics, optimization, and computer science to solve problems in business, finance, medicine, science, and technology. Analyze data, predict trends, and understand the world around you.

You’ll graduate with up to two years of co-op experience – and earn a unique skillset based on your grasp of mathematical and advanced computer science principles. This dynamic duo will help you stand out and power your high-tech career anywhere in the world!
