Mathematics and Computer Science

About this course

Mathematics and computer science is a degree that sits at the intellectual heart of the digital world. Mathematics provides the rigorous foundations that computer science depends on: the logic behind algorithms, the probability theory underpinning machine learning, the linear algebra used in graphics and data analysis, and the formal reasoning that makes it possible to prove that software behaves correctly. Computer science, in turn, gives mathematical thinking a powerful range of applications, from building systems that solve large-scale optimisation problems to developing the statistical models that power modern data science. At the University of Strathclyde, this four-year full-time programme with an entry tariff of 256 points represents a demanding but highly rewarding combination. You will study mathematics across its core areas including analysis, algebra, probability, and statist
