COURSE CURRICULUM

The thesis option for the Master of Mathematics in Computer Science requires students to complete four one-term graduate courses, each worth 0.50 units. At least one course must be at the 800 level, and only one course at most can be at the 600 level. Additionally, students are limited to taking no more than two courses within the same area for degree credit. The courses span several key categories, starting with Computing Technology, which includes areas such as Software Engineering and Programming Languages, covering advanced topics in software design, development, and programming paradigms. Hardware and Software Systems focus on the architecture and interaction between hardware and software components. The Mathematics of Computing category emphasizes foundational areas like algorithms, complexity, and scientific computing, essential for understanding computational theory and its applications. Computational Statistics offers courses that bridge computer science and statistical methods. The Quantum Information and Computation area covers cutting-edge quantum computing topics. Finally, the Applications category includes diverse fields such as Artificial Intelligence, Databases, Graphics and User Interfaces, Bioinformatics, and Health Informatics. This structured yet flexible curriculum ensures students gain a comprehensive education across fundamental and specialized topics, preparing them for research and professional roles in various computer science domains.
