It is intrinsically beautiful, can be appreciated for its logical patterns, and is
powerful when used in applications. It is the science of relationship structure and
provides tools for solving problems. Mathematics has historically had a profound impact
on societal development.
This "language of science" provides the framework for work in traditional areas of
science—biology, physics, chemistry and engineering. It is also important to areas
that require analytic modeling or data analysis techniques—business, economics and
the social sciences.
Meet Simon Chu
Simon Chu stayed active in campus life while excelling in his studies at Wilkes and
participating in research at Carnegie Mellon University.
Our department offers programs in Computer Science and Computer Information Systems
that apply mathematic concepts.
Computer science spans theory and practice.
It requires concrete and abstract thinking. From a practical perspective, consider
the intensive hands-on experience required to make computers do what you want them
to do. On a higher level, computer scientists must use precision, creativity, and
careful reasoning to model and analyze problems and design verifiable solutions.
Computer science has strong connections to other disciplines such as science, engineering,
health care and business, so computer scientists often become proficient in other
subjects.
Computer information systems is the application of computer systems and computing
tools.
Solve business problems and provide information— the lifeblood of all organizations.
The computer-based information system is a critical part of the products, services,
and management of organizations. It is pervasive in all organization functions and
is used by accounting, finance, marketing, and production.
Efficient and effective use of information technology is important to achieve competitive
advantage. Information systems have a broad responsibility to develop, implement,
and manage an infrastructure of information technology. Developing systems for organizations
and inter-organization processes involves creative use of information technology for
data acquisition, communication, system analysis and decision support.
