While Trevor is interested in many specific areas of computer science, it appears that additional information about this is only available on penalty of death, so I'm afraid the Gazette readership will have to do without. Sophomores and juniors planning on a career in mathematics, the natural sciences, computer science, or engineering are eligible to apply for a Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship. On the contrary . We'll use ideas and techniques from simulation modeling, mathematical optimization, decision theory, game theory and probability to explore the decision-making process in the context of environmental problems. Although there is no formal mathematics prerequisite, there should be plenty of new material to keep the mathematically-inclined from getting bored.
Some problems are just plain hard.
This course, which counts toward both mathematics and computer science majors, is concerned with the design and analysis of algorithms. Within reason, you may use your favorite programming language for programming assignments. Meanwhile, we will study some of the structures and concepts that occur as common threads throughout the remarkably diverse subject known as mathematics. This course should shed some light on what lurks in the hearts of mathematicians. If you think there may be upper-level math courses in your future, this course is for you.
