Mathematics and Computing is a stream that contains concepts of mathematics merged with sophisticated computer science. It is evident that computer science fundamentals are dependent on applied mathematical skills, but in the present syllabus for M.Sc in mathematics and computing, things are not as they used to be.

Key highlights:
According to surveys, most students in mathematics don’t have enough concepts built in Information Systems, Computer Architecture, Data Mining, HPSC, Numerical Analysis, Cryptography, and Network Security. These concepts are essential for software design, simulation, and analysis in engineering economics, military, aerospace, etc. The integrated course in Mathematics and computing is the best bridging stream in this scenario, providing an all-in-one knowledge-based syllabus on both mathematical concepts and computer science technologies.
Overall, the Mathematics and computing stream, though comparatively newer to the institute, is now under a tremendous rate of progress and is worth opting for.
