Unleash the Power of Math + Computer Science To Solve Problems
The expansive use and application of computing and computational thinking is transforming the way we use mathematics to solve problems. At the heart of many modern-day businesses is problem solving, whether that’s making incremental changes to enhance the efficiency of a business, or creating critical products and services for consumers.
Increasingly, employers seek staff who are trained in computational thinking: the art of problem solving where the solution is represented in a form that can be executed on a computer. A BS in Mathematics and Computer Science from Michigan Tech can help hone your approach to computational problem solving, preparing you for a successful career in the 21st century.
