Computer Science and Mathematics

About this course

Computer science and mathematics is a combination that sits at the heart of the theoretical and applied foundations of computing. Mathematics provides the logical, algebraic and analytical tools that underpin the most important ideas in computer science, from the theory of computation and the analysis of algorithms to the mathematical structures used in cryptography, data compression and machine learning. Studying both together gives you a depth of understanding that goes well beyond practical programming skills, equipping you to understand why algorithms work, when they are efficient and what the fundamental limits of computation are. At the University of Exeter, this three-year full-time programme develops rigorous mathematical training alongside comprehensive computer science education. You will study calculus, linear algebra, discrete mathematics and statistics alongside algorithms,
