Computing and Mathematics

About this course

Computing and mathematics is a combination that reflects the deep historical and intellectual connection between the two disciplines. Mathematics provides the formal language in which computing is built: logic, discrete mathematics, algorithms, probability, and linear algebra are all mathematical in origin, and a strong mathematical foundation makes you a significantly more capable computer scientist. Equally, computing provides a set of powerful tools for applying mathematical ideas to real-world problems, from simulating physical systems to processing large datasets and solving optimisation problems at scale. At Newcastle University, this three-year full-time programme offers an unusually rich combination of structural features alongside the academic content. You will have the option of undertaking a placement year in industry, spending time at a partner institution abroad, and engagi
